Greed havocs the brain

spilleronsheet

A needy in thirst

looks over the desert  in dire lust

treading on blazing sand 

it looks over the expansive land 

 

a student in herd

wears spectacles and looks nerd

he wishes to be bright 

looks over and over with half sight

success beyond reach

Honesty mingling on verge of breach

 

in those dire situations 

a mirage plays a trick 

telling him, there is water on streets

in those wreaking moments 

a teacher plays a trick

 

why greed havocs the brain 

education seems lost in greed

only few teachers left 

who preach without greed

others are lost in heavens street

students lost trust 

uncanny and blind by lust 

lost respect in mind

disciples are lost on those streets 

 

Teacher- student 

friends in circle

colleagues in office

neighbours on street 

friendly countries

all playing a foul game 

in the name of greed….

      Greed is not a friend of anyone .. some have nothing and others always wanting more .. the world is filled with different degrees and forms of desire .. a very serious topic covered with some equally serious satire and humour ......... N

        Thanks dear Neville…greed surely has no end and no limit…and it’s hard to find someone selfless…but I hope greed could be to work more, greed for perfection…maybe if it could be steered in a different direction…

        An amazing reflection on the cynicism that pervades humankind. I feel that greed is a self-destructive force that must be put to rest. Great job!

          Indeed dear Rocky, so long having read from you….
