In shadow deep, where darkness thrives,
a vice emerges, consuming lives.
It's name is greed, a relentless fire,
that feeds on souls, igniting desire.

With eyes of hunger, it seeks to gain,
amassing fortunes, ignoring the pain.
A insatiable thirst for power and gold,
leaving compassion and empathy cold.

In boardrooms and halls of opulence,
greed entwines with selfish indulgence.
The hearts grow heavy, burdened by wealth,
while others struggle, trapped in its stealth.

It whispers sweetly, enticing minds,
promising happiness it never finds.
For in its grasp, there's an endless chase,
a void that deepens, leaving no trace.

Communities fracture, torn apart,
as greed prevails, dividing the heart.
The rich grow richer, the poor left behind,
inequity's shadow cast on mankind.

But let us not surrender to its call,
for within us lies a strength to stand tall.
To choose compassion over selfish gain,
and mend the fractures with empathy's reign.

Let us build bridges instead of walls,
unite our spirits, tear down greed's halls.
For in a world where love takes the lead,
we'll find the treasures that truly succeed.

So let us strive for a better day,
where greed is vanquished, cast away.
In its place, let kindness and grace reside,
and nurture a world where compassion thrives.
