Greedy is the Light Exposing thieves as She herself steals My darkness away

Greedy Is the Light
Is it okay to say no? It's okay to say no Why do I always say yes? Why do I accept it? “Don’t be so selfish” “Don’t be so mean” I only said no, It's okay to say no “You’re being greedy” “Stop saying no” No, no, no, no “Pushover” Fine I guess I won’t say no…

No
In Syria Palestine Yemen And Iraq and Somalia and Sudan It's war all the time and In lands where the bombs still roar People dream of a peace they explore But the wars rage on And the devil will never give up Up it's the little children Who suffer every day and No victory won no battles cease Just silent rest and hollow peace.

There's a darkness in me I mean, probably only figuratively We'll have to wait and see Seven masks of sin but one entity All splitting a single fractured personality Head spins wildly I've searched quietly I've asked loudly I've had to cry and scream internally Keeping it caged and locked inside has caused me to break down repeatedly No outcome that I've found is a guarantee So, I guess it's a guaranteed mystery Of course it is, fuuck me... Something that quite possibly will only make sense to me in a different plane of reality ...uh...that doesn't help at all actually Hopeless is often a stand-in for the elusive positivity It comes along so rarely one could hardly be blamed for questioning the authenticity Then there's this two way brutality It devours not because it's hungry but because it's so god daamn greedy I'm not suppose to let it out of me I'm told this as I feel it under my skin ripping up the already dilapidated basic human anatomy This is a one man operation so it breaks out occasionally But the goal though, if it were to ever be left up to me, my preferred destiny The socially dreaded monotony I embrace it knowing it will never be enough to right such a severe mental instability Didn't think it was destined to be a doomed mission but maybe it was done vainly It's not easily put into words but it feels like thievery It's stolen chunks of life from me and didn't have the decency to even leave me a silver hair sliver of a memory Turned me into a mockery of Jeremy Right back to the old me My own worst enemy A part I've played so absolute I almost destroyed me I've explained it to me slowly Barley made it this far and the next 40, They're looking to be just as iffy Half devils reject, half whatever you see Sprinkle in a little lie here and there as a preserve for longevity Worry about it later, only if it bites me 100% broken but realistically only maybe half evil so, you know, 333 ©2024

It was hard for her husband and child to believe what she had done. She ran off with a sugar daddy and abandoned her husband and son. She did her husband wrong but I believe what she did to her son was worse. She was a greedy woman who decided to put money first. She was dumped by her sugar daddy and she asked her husband if he would take her back. Her husband said No when she returned because intelligence is something he doesn't lack. He told her that she left them once and he wouldn't give her a chance to do it again. This woman loved money too much and ended up having to pay for her terrible sin. She thought she could reconcile with her husband but she didn't succeed. She abandoned her husband and son, stupidity is often caused by greed.

Sugar Daddy
lord they say of that home overhead is beauty rapturous but the interred holler a song showing gold to be lead for his might is rancorous thought that allure captures still for when have the greedy had their fill not in this life not in the next for the fearful are still afraid and will be still, when down they're laid despite their fight the sickly go too for all their bated breaths could not help in their deaths that fed the soil what hungered so going silently into that goodnight

Who will enlighten little Bo-Peep. On the surface compliant sheep, Though breading monsters underneath, and once the sheep have grown their teeth, Were-sheep will have their share of meat. Bo-Peep! ****** wolves derived from sheep!

Do you remember the very first time you touched me? It was dark that night, I was so scared because what happened next was really hard to believe. Do you remember that I tried to move? I was uncomfortable in my own bed - That didn’t stop you, of course you felt you had something to prove. Do you remember lifting my hair? Probably feeling excited to find my sleeping eyes - My body all over was paralyzed. Do you remember all my terrified screams? Probably not, I’m pretty sure that only I could hear - Really hoping to wake up from this frightening, evil dream. Do you remember how we had known each other forever? You were my best friends older brother!!! But I’ll remember that when I was 11, how you were so greedy and just like the ******* others!!! And you’ll just remember how we were always hidden under the covers...

UNDER THE COVERS
You sit up on your high perch Face glowing, so beautifully We gaze upon your light Soaking it in and Hoping to one day reflect it To copy the moon and Soon be near you The tongues of fire worry no one "We are safe" They say "What reason would they have to harm us" And then stumble blindly towards What they believe is good And no, You are not good Nor are you bad You are self centered And have no awareness for others Almost as if you Have your own gravitational pull And you are not kind Nor are you cruel You simply exist And let the worlds revolve Around you Letting people get hurt And doing nothing about it For you There is no good or evil There is no light or dark You are the light You cast no shadow And you live in the dark It eats you up You are unaffected by Everything Yet everything Is effected by you And everything wants you So much so that You implode Under the pressure And suddenly You Want E v e r y t h i n g And no one can resist

There were so many sacrifices, so many lives taken, so many lives given, and yet we are ungrateful. We want more happiness, so we neglect what we have right now. We become greedy for more, for more and more of everything. Why? Why can't our hearts be satisfied with what we have? Why do we need this and that? and everything the rich have? Can't we just live our lives the way it is written to be lived? Can't we, for once, ignore the evil and turn to good? Is it so hard for us? Is it so hard that if you don't dream you won't live?

Ungrateful
Rubayiat Al Thurab (Verses of the Dust) - 61 BismillahIr RahmanIr Raheem Not to eagerly expect hope who they are irrelevant As none of them are undoubtedly worth able, Of your valuable time or your genuine concern. They are fond to their social customs and private rituals. They are greedy and more self preserve towards themselves. Therefore don't eagerly expect hope from them. You wisely believe the unique path for yourself. The unique path of your Beloved, Who is wisely your absolute existence, Politely ignore everyone and everything, Peacefully walk on your unique path of your Beloved! Allah Khair.....

letters to santa
They, they call me greedy, exclusive, taciturn. . . That I've learned from my disease --chronic listening-- which voices I'd rather not hear. Most of these sing song smiley faces beat you to the punch as if they're racing past you after a ******* badge. You want a badge? Well good for you. Go online and buy one. They said "spill your guts" And So you spill out ******** Thinking that you're making friends, while I'm hard pressed to believe you would be believed by anyone worth friending. You want a badge? Good for you! I'll make you a deal if you decide to buy one. I'll pay the cost for the custom laser engraving: "Sheriff Big **** in the land of      "No      One      Gives      A      ****

The Sulfur Cross| 3. Mayor McGreedy
In a Catholic school, I was nothing but an untrained brain, a pair of legs in a short skirt, and calves in knee-high black socks pulling my skirt down, tugging at the wool to protect myself. I never thought myself to be apart of that group, never gotten ***** or abused, but then, I thought longer…harder about my position, and your greedy hand still finds my legs under the wool, despite my efforts, lingering there for half a second too long. I still feel it when I put myself back in that desk. It wasn’t friendly. It wasn’t innocent. You knew what you were doing. The excuses I made to justify your behavior. I couldn’t fathom how you, a man, much older than me, could touch me without my permission— How easily you could do that to me. Invade my space while I sat there, Frozen, unsure of what to say or do. And now, years later, I quietly utter beneath my breath, “Me too.”
