Greed Poem by Justin Reamer

Do you want everything in life?
Do you always want everything?
Anything you can ever imagine?

My friend, I am your worst enemy.
I am the reason you are
So materialistic and so miserable,
For you know that I am
One of the Seven Deadly Sins,
And you know that I will kill you
Eventually,
And it amuses me to see you suffer.

All you want is money
And more money,
And you want the newest car,
The newest cell phone,
Expensive watches,
The newest TV,
The newest appliances,
The new iPad,
And the new iPhone.

Money is your god,
And you have forgotten about Him,
The one who has given you everything,
The one who is the reason you exist today,
The One who created you,
The Almighty Lord in Heaven,
The One who loves you most.

You forgot about Him,
And He misses you so dearly,
And yet you are so miserable,
That you gave in to me,
One of Lucifer's Servants,
Who knows what is best.

You pompous little fiend, you,
You know that you are miserable,
And you know that you can find no love
Or happiness in this world because
You gave into me,
A dark side of human nature,
A demon from the Pit.

It amuses me to see you miserable,
But you keep wanting more and more,
And money just does not cut it,
For you keep buying new things every time
They come out,
For you, my friend,
Are as unhappy as can be.

I take pleasure from your pain,
And I am sure that you are aware of that,
So, my friend, you will suffer,
Just like everyone else did.
Beware of me, all of you out there,
Who have not suffered me or my brothers,
For you know what could happen to you,
If you were to come across us.
