Greed And Lust
Dark clouds follow those without love
Tragic events damage hearts that care
There’s a light shining from high above
Reminding rats it’s never polite to stare
Underground tunnels hide sin from sight
Monsters feeding under the mask of night
Be the nightmare that disrupts their sleep
A thorn in the side of what remains unjust
Time grows heavy as the price turns steep
Another empire ravaged by greed and lust

Late night musing. Tonight was a struggle, this one was a little forced at the end. Appreciate you.

Words of wisdom and truth yet beneath the surface of the truth is the truth of what is happening in the thickness of the darkness hiding behind the mask of a disguise as greed is corruption and lust is what happens before close doors 🚪🤔

Goodness needs to know more about corruption than corruption knows about itself in order for goodness to prevail.
Excellent write!

There are days I just want to throw dishes at a concrete wall over the greed going on. It's disheartening to the extreme. Keep musing. As Shrek says "better out than in"
