Greed

Richness is the abode of ghouls,

Humane— that's the trait of a fool

Selfishness is the blessing of Greed,

Place deception and debauchery at the altar of Greed


Greed's hands hold higher the one

Who reigns on his throne— below no one

Greed's contempt shall be known

O fool, when you've rejected all that she's shown


Hold Greed's cards closer to your chest,

And rejoice in treasure-filled chests

Bow down to the almighty Queen,

With arms open, welcome the objects of your dream


Whisper the hymns and shout your prayers,

Be sure she hears your heart's dark desires

The only way to show contentment

Is to fuel and revel in your moral dismemberment
