Poetry Day: Avaritia

Posted on May 12, 2022 by Charles Yallowitz

Greed from Fullmetal Alchemist

(Another personification of an emotion poem.  I remember being excited about finding the Latin word for ‘Greed’.)

Humanity has evolved to suit my needs.
I am primeval.

*

Cities have been built to my glory.
I am monumental.

*

People have been crushed by my influence.
I am addictive.

*

Those that deny me are forced to toil in vain.
I am valuable.

*

Society will always keep me alive.
I AM GREED.
