Where in our body is greed living?
Is Greed a habit we acquired in life?
Or Is it just a mere personality trait?
Is it the result of a defective gene?
Or is it part of our natural creation?
Where in our body is greed living?
Give the baby anything to play with
And the item straight goes to the mouth
Retrieving it would demand some force
Unless it cann't fit the young mouth
Or the taste is awfully uncomfortable
The baby will never release it peacefully
Give the child a toy, he will ask more
Tell him to share it with siblings
And the house will soon get out of hand
Give the adult a power to rule
And he will no doubt ask more
Tell him to share it with others
And the nation will soon grow chaotic
He will blow a loud whistle of terror
He alerts Lords of Destruction
He cann't share power with anybody
He is a bad leader
Greed is a grain of evil
Devil brings it from hell
Sick soul is a most fertile soil
And that is where it can grow best
Brother Abdi would that the world could be healed of this cancer which when left unchecked will destroy everyone. So sad but so true when something wicked this way comes. Peace and blessings Abdi and stay strong as I pray you will.
Another evidence of your wonderful wisdom Abdi Noor. Superb poem!
Greed is all that you say and more,I think it is innate within us until we fill our hearts and soul with what it was created for ,the Creator!
I think that greed grows when we are trying to fill emptiness within our soul. We feed our vacancy with whatever tangible things we can, no matter the cost to others.
