A short poem showing the sequence of events that occur when greed is let into one's life.
Greed
It steals your focus
Then takes you whole
Leaving you destitute from the very start

Greed
It draws you in
Then sucks you dry
Holding you captive until the very end

Greed
No simple pleasure
No little gain
But a dreadful disease, a rooted seed unbounded

Greed
A lie from the beginning
A desire to the end
It's a fools net, the fool's snare that does him in
