Rotten spoiled
I see it all — the glitter, the gold,
Every treasure, every prize to hold.
The gleam, the shine, the silken threads,
I want it all — my hunger spreads.

I crave it, I need it, each gem in my grasp,
To clutch them close, to hold them fast.
Let riches flow, let opulence reign,
I want it all — the pleasure, the gain.

No price too high, no cost too steep,
I’ll gather it all in a greedy sweep.
Pile it up high, to the heavens it’ll rise,
I want all the splendor to dazzle my eyes.

Give it to me, every glittering prize,
Don’t care for its worth or its demise.
If it’s denied, if it slips through my clutch,
It’s worthless, it's nothing — it means not much.

For I want it all, no matter the name,
If I can’t have it, it’s all just a game.
The things in my world are mere fleeting charms,
If they don't serve me, I’ll cast them to harm.

Thrown to the side, left out in the cold,
Broken like toys,...
