Green-eyed monstrous greed
Wealth, Power and Food…The Usual…Prompt Greed
O thy greens, that gamy smell on thee
thy currency, big, fat notes
like a cigarette burns
kissing ashes
but only, I’m thy ashtray
thy personal burial
false funerals
dig my grave
buy me fake, perfumed
paper flowers
thy taste
always ‘too extra’
O, that mist
thy power
fogs, thy brain
thou art, celebrating
thy victory
thy conquest
with caviar and a few drinks
filling all the scrones
of my mind
Oh, my! With thy cavity-tooth envy
In nuts and bolts
‘Never enough’, thy only woe
satiated only-by wealth, power and food
thy only friends, thy foes
thy pride, thy frenemy
‘I want more’, thy mantra
Oh, my! What a debt on thy soul
thy green-eyed, monstrous, perpetual greed
