Greed ( Avaritia)
Come read Megha’s excellent post on Greed from her 7 sins anthology!
This fourth poem is a part of the anthology of poems based on the Seven deadly sins.
Do read the previous ones too, if you haven’t yet.
Greed(Avaritia): an excessive pursuit of material possessions.
“He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.”
― Socrates
A sin of desire
wanting everything around you
anything shiny catches your eye
blinded by the lustrous variegated glazes
dissolving the thin line
between the need and wants
drowning your eternal self
for the bare materialistic
wealth and superfluous possessions
you have turned your self
into a hoarder, an insane gatherer
this greed, the mortal sin
the want of more and more
will never end.
spiraling down the rabbit hole
heading for a shiny mirage
you are destined for
that unfortunate end.

Seven Deadly sins( An anthology of poems)
Come read Megha’s 7 sins anthology!
Hello, my blogging family,
Recently I started working on my anthology of poems about the seven deadly sins. However, it started with me writing a poem about jealousy and while I was nearing the end of it, it just crossed my mind to do the whole series about the seven deadly sins. I’ve never worked on an anthology before and this is my first humble attempt, so I’m really apprehensive about it. As always, I expect the support and constructive feedback from my community, which makes me a better writer by each passing day.
I’m planning to publish a poem daily for the next seven days.Hoping, I would be able to live up to the expectation of my readers.
As I keep publishing, I’ll keep updating the links to the posts below.
1. Jealousy(Envy)
2. Gluttony (Gula)
3. Lust (Luxuria)
4. Greed (Avaritia)
5. Sloth (Acedia)
6. Wrath (Ira)
7. Pride ( Hubris)
Happy…

Over You
Come read the joy and wisdom of being “Over You”!
When we reach that point where our heart is completely healed from a hurt — when we have finally let go all of our hold to things and memories that no longer serve us or make us grow — when we finally move on and start a new beginning with gratitude for the lessons learned — that is when we say I AM OVER YOU with finality.
Never be afraid of endings nor of beginnings — love makes us wiser for only when we are wounded that we learn the virtue of compassion and kindness. A smooth road does not make a good driver. So, go on, sweetheart, wear your heart on your sleeve and be ready to let love turn you into a better warrior. Lol!
Life Goes On
Don’t Miss the wisdom and truth in “Life Goes On”
Life is like a cycle of seasons…it goes on the same way. When we wake up each morning, we expect to see the sun in the east and expect to see the moon in its place once the sun sets in the west. While some people somewhere are laughing, there are also some people somewhere that are weeping. While some are winning, still other some are losing. The face of duality is always present.
Kahlil Gibran said this about joy and sorrow:
“Some of you say, ‘Joy is greater than sorrow,’ and others say ‘Nay, sorrow is the greater.’ But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.”
In times of our happiness, therefore, we should be compassionate towards those that are not as fortunate. Because there will always…
