[Old and Unreadable] Max's Thought-Provoking Poetry

Goodness of Greed

7 deadly sins circulate inside of you
Yet what is a sin, but greatness's deterrent?

Avarice, cupidity or covetousness, it goes by many names
Yet in all of these examples have one game
The Artificial, rapacious desire for material possessions
Paving the way for trouble, cracks and unwanted aggression

We humans are so quick to assume that greed is oh so sinful
How could desire for what is not yours mean purity tinted?
But greed goes beyond money or possession
It can be the desire for goodness, not only treasure

There can be those so hell-bent on goodness
So determined for happiness, love and equality
They will do whatever it takes to end injustice
Those with the insatiable hunger to end poverty

So put aside your prejudices of greed
Know that it may save you when you are pushed to your knees
