Vicious Vices

Greed is more than lusting for gold.

Greed is a parasite that invades your conscious and weakens your mind.

You want wealth then you want glory then you want power then you want the world.

You become a slave to your devious desires, damned to do the deeds of a devilish urge.

Greed has done treacherous things.

Greed has pinned man against man, sister against brother, child against mother.

Greed has bought death and suffering.

Greed has bought a sound man to the brink of madness.

Greed has bought the sturdiest of strongholds to their knees.

We like to believe greed is so inhumane.

We deny that we posses it and believe we're above it.

Everyone says greed is a malicious mannerism.

Greed is too crude and barbaric for us civilized individuals.

Nevertheless, greed is a vicious vice that is deeply imbedded in our person.
