Greed

• Artist: Misunae
• Description: I was inspired to write this poem by some author who wrote "The Devil and Tom Walker."
  And how ostentatious he was, and how even when he had money he hadnt changed a bit.
  Which made me think "This is a good topic for a poem.
  Well i hope you like it.

I see the way you look at items
like a person would with their lover
your eyes big
your heart small
And i see the greed all over
and its like that is all that matters
when all you seem to see is green
and all you want are material things
When you hear the cry of hungry kids
you run in panic, at the thought of empty pockets
when you hear the murmurs of the crowd
saying how proud you must be
you duck in misery
when you pass through streets
and take a peek
what you will really see
are people with dreams
