Greed Overcomes You

December 13, 2022
By Anonymous

The bomb blows like the wind on a spring morning

You hear the shouting of the people around 

listening to terrible sounds 

surrounding you 

You’re stuck in place like you’re frozen 

unable to move a single muscle 

After awhile you notice everyones ran away 

not a single soul in sight 

Well you look around

you notice that the stores around you are 

empty 

And greed overcomes you,

heading into the store you take all you can hold taking advantage of this opportunity

but as your walking out you get a feeling of regret in your head

Wondering if this was the right thing, if karma would get you for this 

You try to push the thoughts out of your mind but you know deep down that it was wrong 

It was the wrong thing to do it was far past your morals you know it's wrong but nobody was there nobody saw a thing, anyone in your position would have done that everyone would have taken that’s risk 

Your family struggling right now 

You could really use this 

But what about the person that owns the store 

What will they think 

How will they feel 

You continue to head home with this feeling in your chest 

Wondering if it was the right thing to do
