Greed Poem by Deepti Agarwal

Greed

Rating: 5.0


More and more
is today's motto

more of money..
more of power..
more of status
more from a relationship..
more love..
more contacts..
more... more... more...
no end to this greed!

Termite in Humanity
eating us all
making us hollow.

need to control
to make life free!

Termites ate some of my old precious journals from my early graduate days in the 60s. I thought I would die - too painful. But here I am without my prized journals, my mind still in tact (I believe) . Yes, more and more let them bite and eat and be rotund - still our minds will remain pure and fresh. Thanks for this.
