Greed Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Greed
Limited is the need,
Unlimited is the greed,
Engaged in misdeed,
I ignore your bleed.
Two pieces of cloth and a piece of bread,
Can keep me alive, I'll not be dead,
Shelter of a roof not touching the sky,
I can walk with feet don't need to fly.
But I want the greed,
How dire is the need,
Of a peace making deed,
See the painful bleed.
Peace of hearts and peace brains,
I should have it, no refrains,
Unlimited is this need,
And limited is my greed.
Greed I ignore bleed, nice poem over topic given. Unlimited is the need and limited my greed. Beautiful presentation. Nice job done.
Drawing a sharp distinction between need and greed - which many people sadly confuse. Well done.

Beautiful poem! Gandhiji once remarked.... 'This Earth has got everything to satisfy our need, but not enough to satisfy our greed'! If we embrace a simple living and is willing to share our excess wealth with the needy, there would have been no poverty on Earth! Great message for a world wallowing in luxury!
