Greed Poem by umaprosad das

Greed bears self concentration
From there to moral degradation and downfall
Become instrumental to bring ruin or destruction
By making conscience, within self, to throttle

It grows jealousy, hatred and enmity
Combining with falsehood self-superiority and self-pride
Step by step being away from humanity
Making evil spirits to grow and bribe

With the loss of humanity and moral sense
Satan, in the human heart, does rise up and engross
Beauty and sweetness of life as well as its worth and importance
Get finished, greed being responsible for gross loss
