Avarice

A Poem by Paula M. Potter

Avarice

( avaritia )

 

Avarice raining down on us

An insatiable thirst for wealth

Gnawing at our insides

Devouring from within

as our pockets are lined

MORE is the cry

We are possessed by more money

More cars more wealth more power

Grabbing it with both hands till they bleed

                     The infinite want and inevitable destruction

I really like the imagery in this poem. "Grabbing it with both hands till they bleed." Is it creepy that I think that's awesome?
