Green Eyed Glory
Green eyed glory living lavishly through life,
Not a care in the world no worries no strife
An abundance of bills empower your ways
As stacks of paper pile up by the days
Green eyed glory, look back on your gains
Careful eyes may uncover surface stains
Your opulence glimmers, though its brilliance does not fool
Vigilant searching has uncovered your tool
Green eyed glory your greed has emerged
From dishonest wealth your status has surged
Unscrupulous fraud, thievery, and lies,
The light of truth will sever your ties
Green eyed glory your time has run out
Luxury and affluence have cast a shadow of doubt
Grounded on corruption your empire falls
The time has come to pay back; your deceit appalls
Green eyed glory indebted you are trapped
Penniless and destitute, your funds have been tapped
For all that you stole and all you have seized
Now you may experience a life without ease
Green eyed glory entrenched by your debts
As you wither in ---- you can ponder your regrets
The floor falls from beneath you as you struggle to stand
And deeper you fall with no helping hand
Green eyed glory your eyes lost their spark
For within your soul there exists only dark
Perpetually sinking, forevermore you stay
For money makes the world go ‘round, this price you must pay

Greed is an ever-present aspect of our immoral society. It is an urge, an inclination toward attaining something more that we so desire, most often expressed through monetary gains. Green with envy, thieves are overcome by temptation, grasping what it may be that they get their hands on to become envied by others. But a guilty conscience will weigh on the soul, because superficial wealth never prevails.
