Greed Poem by Neela Nath Das

Greed

Rating: 4.7


Let me dive into the
crystal water of the
river which flows by
the side of the blue
hill and deep woods.
I wish to play with the
fish swimming in the
shiny water under the
sun-gifted pure light.
I want to touch the
wings of the birds
flying high in the sky
without grief or sorrow.
I love to sip from
the cup of Nature
and lie with the
grasses beneath tree.
I have greed for the
best part of this world.
So, set me free from
the greed of human society.

At 1st, you start with painting an image of an ambitious being which is a positive thing in life..but then you are quick to change the tone to make it that these ambitions are of the negative motive.
