First couplet of Greed I cite here: When I watch folks of this world and see how widespread. It is for those, that pile up treasure and put on fat, to chafe. At the bit and grasp for more, the way they hunger for a safe As broad as the ocean, and so deep, that it'd never touch the seabed....Truly Greed in honest words written by GGB. True words about poverty in a period of his life he created in this poem. Brilliant flow and sympathetically worded.
