Greed Ends in All That is Bad

The date was 1727
A few miles from Boston
Lived a miserly couple that wished for wealth over deliverance to heaven
They sought out wealth in any way possible too often.

Tom the met the devil first
However, his wife was the initial casualty
Rumors of her demise was the only thing that was dispersed
In the end, Tom too fell to be his casualty.

Showing that no good
Comes from ill-gotten riches.
One should work hard for it’s numerous or meager food
If one takes the dirty route to the top, he will reside forever in the ditches.

Then when one becomes to deep in trouble
He will seek an easy way out: in this case, it was church
Though no matter how hard one tries he will be trapped in a immoral and guilt bubble
He will find his home in hell on a perch.

In addition, when one becomes rich and greedy
His friends and neighbors abandon him
Then this is when he is truly needy
As a result, no one will carry out his dying whim.
