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….

I love how you built your point by describing such situations like what you did at the first and second stanzas. Keep writing!
Thanks a lot reader for stopping by
Glad you liked it
Much appreciated
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….
