A wonderful poem that conveys great wisdom and insight. A must read for all. Greed, since time immemorial has been the cause of corruption, disunity and even war. Yes, greed generates greed. A never ending cycle. Liked the message of the closure lines. " Minimize the wants and focus only on the need." Wonderful and pragmatic way to live life.

Yes, if only we human beings had the sense to realise that greed leads us nowhere but to more greed ad infinitum to a point where nothing satisfies us anymore... Many a great humans have gone down pathetically for greed.. And our greed as a species for the resources will perhaps bring us to an extinction... Thank you for sharing.. A wonderful poem with a wonderful message...
