Image for the poem Greed

Greed

No right to our ignorance
we proceed
The disruption of balance
driven by greed

We turn away
as we are falling from grace
Pretend we dont see
the world's disgrace

The starving, the lost
the broken and brave
No salvation from
your solid gold grave

Taking for granted
needs filled on demand
Open your eyes
reach out your hand

Reality is the instinct to survive
The desperate cries of those barely alive.
