~ Greed

by A. L. O'Prunty

~ Greed
When Greed the heart does consume

Logic finds no room

Distorted – nay, falsehoods – proclaimed

From forked tongues without restrain

All Dignity cast aside

Void of substance, alter pride

And family, friends stand in awe

Observing the circus one and all
When Greed the heart does consume

Logic finds no room.
O’Prunty

    Great words. Unfortunately, this applies to every politician I know.

    This is devastatingly beautiful. & it’s why I try not to put too much value in money, and focus on experiences instead of objects.
