What If

What if

there was no covetous greed,

I believe for religions

there would be no need.

Greed is often for power

and sometimes for wealth

and when overzealous

extremely bad for our health.

Desiring, groping

always for more

attacking our spirit

leaving it poor.

Gone to the point

where our means become crimes

bringing this world

to the worst of it's times.

But if there was

no covetous greed

and we find satisfaction

in that which we need.

The theft would then stop

the killing as well

and we might not be living

in this man made Hell.
