A DISEASE

   I am a disease.
   I wonder whether the world will give in to corruption.
   I hear the screams of those who carry me.
   I see myself as a powerful yet unseen force in the world.
   I want more and more and more....
   I am a disease.

   I pretend that I am something wonderful.
   I feel a hunger for everything I do not have.
   I touch and scar the lives of those who around me.
   I worry that my mission will not succeed.
   I cry for pity those who don't know me.
   I am a disease.

   I understand that nothing for me is enough.
   I say, "I want more and I need more."
   I dream that I will have everything.
   I try to take what I think should be mine.
   I hope that no one will stand in my way
   I AM AVARICE.
