Spat out of the mouth of Satan
 Comes forth a needy demon
 With desires exploding
 Out of proportion
 On the souls of selfish Victims
 His ambitions forgets good morals
 
 Hunger fuel in rage
 Passion burns insane
 His thirst should be quench
 Craving fed, yeaning comforted
 Give him more, give him more! 
 His hunger is driving him insane
 His thirst must always be quench! 
 
 Yearnings well comforted! 
 Give him more! give him more
 Even if he takes his victims to hell
 His hunger will never be fed! 
 
 Greed...A Collection Of 7 Deadly Sins - Poem by Eyan Desir    

I think the them of this poem is greed can be a needy creature. This poem is included because it accurately describes greed and what it is like for some people to want something and never be satisfied. I liked this poem because it describes greed differently than how we think about it. This poem is different from all the others because it shows greed not as harsh as the others but it is like the others because it makes the connection of being greedy is horrible.

Is not more rich for all those heaps and hoards 
Than some poor man who has enough to feed 
And clothe his corpse with such as God affords. 

I have no use for men who steal and cheat; 
The fruit of evil poisons those who eat. 

Some wicked men are rich, some good men poor, 
But I would rather trust in what's secure; 
Our virtue sticks with us and makes us strong, 
But money changes owners all day long. 
"The Man Whose Riches Satisfy His Greed" Solon

I think the theme of this poem is sometimes money may change people. This poem is included in my collection because it shows another side of greed and gives it a deeper meaning. This poem has an appeal to me because it defines what money does to certain people and brings up money does not solve everything. This poem is different because it describes greed not being only with money it is alike the others because it portrays greedy people as useless.

There is always greed
A rotten exploiting deed
That manifests with speed

When there are mouths to feed
Read between the lines and take heed! 
Lurking around is an Inspiring greed
Ready to take advantage and proceed

Even when there is no need to succeed
By now it is agreed, there is always greed
Our desire for more always exceeds our needs
Hence wealth, power and greed have always been married

We always want more
Sometimes I don't know what for
I read to understand what generation of breed
Has given birth to this senseless weed
Because life is a circle of endless greed

I urgently need to know, I plead
Who planted this seed of greed to deliberately mislead? 

I think the theme of this poem is there is almost always greed hiding around the corner. This poem is being included in my collection because it shows that even if we don't think there is greed in someone there still can be. This poem had an appeal to me because it outlines how horrible greed really can be. This poem is different because it bring up the poor more than anything and it is alike because it bring greed down to our desires.
