Greed for insanity
Folder:
English poems Her hands clasped the bar so tightly
As her fearful eyes looked far away
She was rocking to and fro slowly
Humming a nameless tune as she sway
She used to be a beautiful lady
To heal was her most ardent dream
Gave her life’s work to her family
Mothers were her stream
But society’s sins got the better of her
Greed crawled up to her soul
Her eyes twinkled at that one offer
Of thousands for a heartless goal
At the site of the digits she realized
Wealth is not far with this service
Like an addiction she compromised
Everything in her practice
But time has its way of playing
Hell pulled her to its abyss
Soon she was like a snake hoping
That some new bitch follows the hiss
But she crossed the end of the line
Not the authority but her sanity’s hand
Crying angels filled her nights
Later she no longer could stand
Now her hands clasped the bars so tightly
As her fearful eyes looked far away
For she couldn’t stand the cries nightly
of the souls that she did prey
