Greed
Greed - Eager for gain, wealth, and the like.
Greed spreads its roots through all things,
Tearing, destroying, changing our reasons.
Greed is the spark starting the forest fire,
Running, ruining, raging till all are slaves,
Living off the life of desire.
Relieving the reasons there,
Helping us earn, be, have more.
Greed is the war surviving,
Existing off the suffering we feed it,
Till the world is rent in twain.
Showing us our extent,
It shows us life.
We strive for it,
Giving it our power.
Letting it control,
We take that of others.
Greed is the time we become more,
More than we let others be.
Greed is the non-existing desire,
The desire to be perfect.
Greed is our power,
The power we show god.

I really like the way you put this. You had lots of things that aren't directly related to greed but still play a huge role in it. I like it quite a bit.

Anthony, wow that's really deep. I definately agree with you and how you feel about greed. Sometimes I see myself having greed as my power and it's very wrong. Your wording was very good and it helped me put it into my perspective. Great job!
