A Seed Of Greed

by Mezmeryz

Fulfilment
Of my dreams would please.
Now they're laid down at my feet.
I should be content... at ease.

But life
Brings me at these stages,
With yet more hurdles.
The chapter holds more pages.

I may
Have all I need,
But not all I would like.
Fate planted a seed of greed.

They are
Material desires,
That no longer bring joy.
I search for what my soul requires.

I realise
I've been robbed,
No longer greed now; it's just need.
For so long my soul has sobbed.

So much;
Yet as little as can be.
All I ask for is that little part,
That other half of me.
