A Parable about Greed – v2

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

Gorging on the excess
when the harvest came;
Lost in world
hungry, in pain

Happy in our sloth,
our avarice, our greed;
Hate for our brothers
our sisters in their need
