Greedy or Needy?

[Transitional Times Poem Collection]

Sometimes, you just got to release it and call it as you see it … let go and give ‘a little bit of welly’!! Whether it’s some relationship pique, or delving to the base of some other socially undermining irritants and/or political figures?!!

I was placing this in the Whimsical Collection, but felt it has merit in Transitional Times for now …. until we uncover all the clams!!

This creation sits in my 'Transitional Times' poem category which contains 'a variety of Motivational and Commentary poems exploring issues of the time in Ireland and Worldwide' created to encourage consideration, reflection and faith, in ourselves, others and God.

For my creations completed to date from all Poem Collections, see Rumble “Louiseiology & Poetry” https://rumble.com/c/LouiseiologyPoems or https://rumble.com/user/Louiseiology

Poem wording:-

Greedy or Needy?

For what were you greedy?
What made you so needy?
Ego balm?
Money for sham?

Power? Prestige?
Some mock exam?!
At this point, I don’t give a damn.
You are a complete and utter clam!

A sham.
A ‘thing’ in a shell …
Glutenous … closed tight.
Underfoot, a real fright!

Tide swept to a rock,
clinging all night!!
Not forthright …
poor or no inner light.

A suckler to clean,
and contain, the sea’s
oceans bearing shite!!
That’s right!

No ‘inner might’,
a revealing sight,
sinuous! tough!
An unholy … little trite!

Louise.
