A Parable about Greed – v3

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 only

while others drown

Gorging on the excess

when the harvest came;

Others lost in world,

hungry, in pain

Happy in our sloth,

our avarice, our greed;

Hate for our brothers,

our sisters in need
