Relationships hardly matter
when money do we cater
In a world so materialistic
and expectations idealistic
Desires are insatiable
hunger for power inevitable
Like a glutton with ravenous appetite,
Longing for more hence ready to fight
GREED outweighing affection
needs and wants an infection
Itching to grab, loot and plunder
The penurious heart never fonder
A doleful inheritance tale but TRUE
Bonding only with legal tender glue
Love, an empty coffer, affinity measured by substance

When you speak of greed it's the 'King Midas' that comes in my mind. Neat selection of words and the poem can't be better than this......
