Nuggets Of Wisdom. No.10. On Greed Poem by Valsa George
Nuggets Of Wisdom. No.10. On Greed
Greed of all kinds, specially for power n’ pelf
Drive men to play many a mischief
It enters our world like an invisible elf
Making one demean his esteemed self
Greed is like an uncontrolled steed
It might gallop in reckless speed
Any time it can kick you down to bleed
Sometimes even causing a stampede
Running after wealth is often a wild chase
The snobbish, wealth can easily entice
Often they have to pay a heavy price
For greed generates greed and many a vice
Money is seen by some as master and Lord
And they compete, everyday to hoard
Even if a lot of wealth is procured
Alas, one never feels fully secured
The root cause of many a malady is greed
We witness the ills, it does everyday breed
Minimize the wants and focus only on the need
Thus from monstrous greed, let us be freed
Yes, if only we human beings had the sense to realise that greed leads us nowhere but to more greed ad infinitum to a point where nothing satisfies us anymore... Many a great humans have gone down pathetically for greed.. And our greed as a species for the resources will perhaps bring us to an extinction... Thank you for sharing.. A wonderful poem with a wonderful message...

Running after a wealth is often a wild chase.
A wonderful poem that conveys great wisdom and insight. A must read for all. Greed, since time immemorial has been the cause of corruption, disunity and even war. Yes, greed generates greed. A never ending cycle. Liked the message of the closure lines. " Minimize the wants and focus only on the need." Wonderful and pragmatic way to live life.
Greed breeds more greed. Greed is the root cause of ills of society. True nuggets of wisdom delivered through your poem.
Greed allures greed involves and greed destroys at last. Many thanks for addressing this issue so nicely.
