Greed and Avarice


There is a family of farmers,

Who owns a vast land of thousand acres;
Of money and wealth they are rich
Power and influence- no longer they beseech.

Gaining fortune is their way of life,
Between siblings there is a strife.
Love and concern no longer exist,
For they were replaced with avarice.

Penniless relatives they do not recognize,
The wealthy ones they despise;
Fortune and wealth they want on their own
The richest people, they want to be known.

Greedy, rapacious, these people are;
The others, they do not want to go far.
Contentment is never on their minds,
They take everything and leave others behind.

There is a family of farmers,
Who owns a vast land of thousand acres;
Selfish and greedy they may be,
But still they are so dear to me.
