Poetic Dreams - Other's Poems - Greed - 2 - by: Barbara Goodhew - submitted: 17 September 2002

I have to thank my adopted mother.
Her greed and love of money, made me not want to be like that.
I would like money to make life easier
but I dislike anybody that thinks money is everything.
I get bored when all a person can talk about is how much this is or that is.
They think it's impressing. But to me it's depressing.

Some are jealous and bitter of people with money.
They should admire them for knowing how to handle it.

I'm one of the ones that goes through money like water.
Doesn't mean I begrudge people with money,they had to work hard too.
And they knew what they had to do.

People without money want instant gratification.We are impatient.
People with money go for the long term.
They are willing to wait.

You know that saying "Generous to a fault"
That's one fault I could live with.

Rather than "give me , never gets".

GENEROSITY is nice.
GREED is a vice.

wth
wat is with this poem? its not even a poem, its like a STATEMENT. y dont u just go and write a story rather than something that u think is a poem, but is really similar to a life story.

We are all different
Different people write in different ways - it's how we express how we feel at that time.It is who we are. All poetry is a statement of some kind, just expressed differently.I feel if we can't be kind with our comments, it is better not to comment at all.

Barb..
You got my support there. Though I'm usually the one under fire :). It's just some people don't understand art is expressed differently for everyone.
