Poetry Challenge Day 3 Topic: GREED

My cousin Sheneka Kinsey laid this one down like WOW (this is a derivative of her self portrait...the girl is just multitalented)!  It's untitled.  Read and enjoy!

for the love of money,
for the pain of need
for the hunger of the empty,
uproots the spirit of greed.
it feeds on weak faith and brokeness
.........it feeds on the want for happiness
the thirst becomes unbarable
the hunger causes stomach pain
the hands become full
yet there is no gain?
greed!
the root of all evil if you ask me
it takes on a life of its own
causes jealousy within a home
greed can drive a family apart
greed can break hearts.
greed will keep you hungry....
forever seeking
constantly sinking
deeper and deeper, until your lungs no longer wants to breathe
and you lose the fight of life, just because of greed.
