Emulation of greed, disciple of scrooge,
too much committed for making the wealth,
raises ambitions to accumulate unnecessarily,
lures leaping on pointless desires futile.
Avidity, as a picture, audacious, but stormy,
illusive imprisoned bird in a cage capricious,
evil-minded cruelties lost, recomposed exchange,
in vilest atrocities to satisfy stupid vanities.
A merciless attitude still devastates, pollutes,
increases persistence in existence knocked down,
rapacious possession permeates, exploits fragrance,
with lethal anxiety upsets, spread to the distance.
