Analysis of Greed
Give me what I want,
Not just what I need ,
I’ll take a whole lot,
With pleasure and with ease.
Over satisfy my hunger,
No matter the cost
I’ll kill temperance with punctures
To remind him who’s boss
My Insatiable desires
I’ll always fight for,
I employed envy for hire
For unlimited I want mores
What mine eyes can see
Will soon be mine,
What my heart can believe,
Will be lust’s unfulfilled sublime…
