Thus It Is Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

Greed -
It is just greed.
Do not say it is the world,
All these are made by us,
You and I and all of us -
Some ride, some miss the bus.
Greed -
It is just a joyride,
You and I and all of us -
For a little more, here we rush -
Some rise, most do not
Winners get cheers a lot.
Greed -
For a little we do fight
Forget all - wrong or right
A piece of flesh, that's we are
No time, to gaze the star
Wallet is where we live
A little thicker if they give.
Greed -
Switching side as extras matter
Pride and prejudice all shatter
You and I once enemies -
March together for the freebies
Hand in hand, breeding greed
More than anything, it is need.
Greed, my dear
It is all greed
Beyond all, it's called need
They make cowards of us all
That's the reason for downfall
Or I am wrong, greed is true
Feeble hand holds chicken stew.
This, the world
Thus it is,
Greed rules
and it is.

Thus it is.
Thus it is.
Thus it is.
