I agree. Greed us ugly and c at the root if had things, it's the lack of Empathy. It's the lack of humility. This is an excellent 12 word poem and supportive presentation.

Best wishes,

Alex

In this short poem the author defines greed so well. The words above
the title makes one stop and think. I pondered on these words and thought about all that is going on in our world - it is heart breaking. The poem flows and connects well. The artwork goes well with these words.
Great Poem, Barry!

Cute and true:"

Greed has no morals
Hides the truth for gain
Creates much pain." Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings and the contest.

Yep, you're absolutely correct, Jesus did warn us that although it's not the root of all evil, it certainly is a temptation to lie, cheat and embezzle it, this is great advice Barry, thank you, blessings Roy

Good luck in the contest.

What an excellent short poem. I'm sure it was a challenge to write a poem in so few words. I wouldn't dare enter the contest. You have got greed nailed on the head. I really enjoyed reading your poem, I wish you luck in the contest.

Yep, this poem pretty much sums it up in 12 words. Great choice for each valid point, the main ones. Great imagery for greed. Good luck in the contest.

Greed is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. It defiantly keeps up away from God. There is so much greed in the world right now. Thank you for sharing this writing prompt contest entry with us. Good luck with the contest.
