Avarice

Avarice

A Poem by MCS
"

Pride, envy, avarice these are the sparks have set on fire the hearts of all men. ~ Dante Alighieri

"


 

Greed consumes the soul

Obscures the way

Life wasted on acquiring

 

Bonds traded and secured

Friendless and alone

When the end approaches

 

Naked of good graces

Soulless and afraid

The devil’s price of admission
