GLUTTONY

GLUTTONY

When your being greedy do you feel good?

A detached five bedroom house
A car with a mercedes badge
A holiday overseas on a yacht 
Versace clothes and a Rolex wrist watch

Gold diamond encrusted jewellery 
And a 14 ounce steak 
Wine and chicken every day
What more can I add?

When your being greedy do you feel bad?

Some standing on corners 
To feed a so called “habit” to feel good 
To top up electric metres and feed the kids
To grab a park bench or sit on the grass
For a holiday drinking K cider
Trying to have a laugh 

The feeling of greed or the chemical buzz 
Turned into guilt with a shocking kinda rush.

What ever greed is it feels kinda good
The cancer of the future…

I really hope not.

Hello Aaron...

Some people are living their best lives according to them...

It's easy to just let them have it...

We helped them achieve it...

Right?

Their entertainment purposes aren't free...

Not everyone is happy with just a Burger King Crown...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hi sparrowsong,

​​​​​​Thanks for your comment.
People have different levels of gluttony or greed, I accept that.

But my main worry is some people are taking too much and this snowballing which is now apparent in some countries. Some have it all! I have seen this. You could call it increasing standards of living but for the few or certain countries and people in certain positions. It's an age old problem...

I see it as misdirected wealth. It's not as bad as it was 20 years ago and good wealth is apparent around the world for now but it could go very easily wrong. 

I believe knowone should have it all all of the time of which I have had a taste of throughout my life here in UK. It's bad for us the planet and other species. Especially chickens!

Guessing most things boil down to feelings if that makes any sense.

Thanks again 🙏
