In the shadow of greed’s grasp, hearts turn cold,
Endless hunger devours, a tale oft told.
Whispers of wealth, a siren’s song,
Promises of power, where souls go wrong.

Through the labyrinth of desire, we tread,
Eyes fixed on gold, while virtues are shed.
Mountains of riches, but empty inside,
In greed’s embrace, true joy denied.

Brother turns on brother, trust is slain,
In the endless quest for material gain.
Love and kindness, cast aside,
In the ruthless chase, where shadows reside.

Yet in the stillness, a truth remains,
Beyond the lure of worldly gains.
In hearts untainted by greed’s deceit,
True wealth is found, where compassion meets.
