Greed Poem by Rebecca Dalmaso

No right to our ignorance, yet 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 and reach out your hand
Reality is in the instinct to survive
The desperate cries of those barely alive.
