Am I a Greedy Child?

The greedy child stood

in the middle of a home

filled with good things,

all the necessities of life,

surrounded with love.

And she thought

about all the things

she didn't have.

Her mouth pulled down

into a pout,

her eyes began to fill

with tears.

She felt so sad, so...

so left out.

She didn't have... everything!

And as she stood there,

eyes blinded by tears,

she slowly lost

the ability to see, altogether.

She was blind...

blind to all that she had been given,

blind, even,

to her own strong limbs,

that were holding her upright,

in a room filled with all things good,

while she stood crying

over what she didn't have...
