A Parable about Greed

A parable about Greed
the opposite of Love
denying our neighbors
those here on earth
Building bigger barns
tearing the old ones down
thinking of ourselves
while others drown
lost in world
hungry, in pain
gorging on the excess
when the harvest came
happy in our sloth,
our avarice, our greed
hate for our brothers
our sisters in their need
