::

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -The Worthily Beloved William Shakespeare

Greedy People

How do they flee with the sincerity
of a blinded fiend so sadistically
coveting but egregious gluttony
to pervade their stomachs with perjury?

They spring to sieze their avaricious fill,
as launch filthy consolation does it,
whilst mockery of modesty does will
but more desire to cull evermore bits.

Trinkets cajole their malicious eyes so,
beseeching their reaching to only grow,
as does a ghost bombast the luscious lust
for gems twinkling each in secret disgust.

Sycophants to themselves they constitute,
tyrants of shelves and shelves of guilded glee,
which by their views each self only would suit;
for none other could their joys upon lean.
