Greed

Another installment of my seven deadly sins anthology...

She could be generous, if she wanted.

She could let others take the credit, if she felt like doing so.

She could eradicate her expectations of others,

but she knows she will not, she cannot.

Her wealth and status are only what she feels she deserves.

Who would settle for their fair share in this life

when they could have so much more?

Deceitful, ruthless and insatiable.

Her eyes, topaz in the sunlight,

glisten as she admires yet another purchase.

She has no need for these material possessions,

they merely fulfil her inexplicable desires.

She does not see her wrong doing,

her covetous ways.

She believes this to be logic,

that if one can possess something they want, they should.

She believes in materialistic value.

She does not comprehend sentimental values,

or being satisfied with what you have been given.

She only understands greed.
