In shadows deep where whispers crawl,
Lies a hunger that consumes us all.
Eyes that gleam with endless need,
The soul is lost to seeds of greed.
A heart once pure, now turned to stone,
In pursuit of treasures never known.
Wealth and power, the siren’s call,
Echoes through the empty hall.
The world outside fades to gray,
As greed’s embrace leads us astray.
Friendships wane, love is sold,
For glittering trinkets, for coins of gold.
Yet in the end, what do we gain?
A fleeting moment, an empty reign.
For greed, dear friend, is a hollow fire,
That burns the heart, and kills desire.
