A sour face, biting words, ungrateful heart.
Self is at the center, only me matters.
Self is a hungry giant with insatiable appetite.
Wanting more, never enough, so unsatisfied.
Willing to cheat, willing to steal, to get what is wanted.
Pushing, shoving, inconsiderate of others.
Lonely, bitter, resentful.
Wanting, wanting, wanting, always wanting.
Where will it end?
It may end in more of the same, dissatisfied to the grave.
Barely missed, good riddance they say.
What a relief.
But for self, an eternity of groaning and darkness.
Never-ending darkness.
It may end in searching, finding, knowing that God is all.
In this choice, there is no ending, only a new beginning.
Repenting, forgiveness, new life.
God takes first place over self.
Mending, healing, loving others.
God’s grace is sufficient.
Hope arises out of gloom.
There is peace.
There is joy.
There is contentment.
There is a smiling face, kind words, a thankful heart.
There is eternity with the Savior, Jesus.

God bless~
just cutting down on greed won't suffice.
I liked it.
If you haven't discovered Jan's Writing Basics on the message boards yet, I'd really urge you to check it out and participate. She is great at responding to anyone who posts on the threads or partakes in the "homework." It's a great gem for all levels of writers. This week she is talking about description. You have some great examples of that in this piece.
I truly enjoyed it and think you nailed the topic and tackled it in a fresh way.
