Greed Brought Low

Having it all

A phrase used far to much.

To assume

All is something that can be obtained.

But greed was my right

By birth and by breed

To be brought so low

It is something I cannot endure.

The shame

It is more than I can bear to shoulder.

Seeing my peers

My peers no longer.

Brought so low

By hubris and by pride.

I will not let them see me

I will not let failure win.

I will carry forward

And continue on

Having learned

There is more to life than money.
