Greed

one of the seven deadly sins....

The wealth will be mine.
I will steal if I have to.
All will respect me.

Author's Note

Is this a series? I'm curious to read the other six.

Haiku is a difficult format, and the ones that stand the test of time are the ones that don't actually talk about their meaning. For this, I think maybe you should write about something that can be considered an analogy for wealth and the drive to attain it. Something that is found within nature, because the best haiku are on the surface about the natural world, but convey meanings beyond that. Also, most haiku are in 5-7-5 syllable format, though, as with all poetry, a skilled writer is allowed to break the rules a bit. And since haiku is a Japanese form, the syllable count doesn't always translate smoothly into English.

Naming the haiku "Greed" will be clue enough to its meaning.

I just realized that I'm basically telling you to rewrite the entire thing, and for that I apologize.

Yes will get respect with wealth. Maybe not a lot of happiness. But what's that old song. Money can't buy you love. But damn close to it. The words were strong and the poem very good.
