Wonderful poem. I like the lines, The acquiring of treasures on Earth,
Won't gain a Heavenly berth, The greedy don't seem to know, You can't take it with you when you go. Yes, it is so true what you have written. Wish you all the best and thanks for sharing.

I just don't think that most wealthy people are tools. I think many who are wealthy are good and generous and worked hard for what they have

I guess I don't know the right rich people

"Money doth not maketh the man." Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. I liked your musings and agree with them. "Do not build up your treasures on earth where moth and rust doth corrupt. Rather build your treasures in heaven. Thanks for sharing K xx

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
We have a largehearted Mother Earth giving whatever we need for leading a peaceful life. But she won't be able to meet our greed. That's the problem. Greed stems from insecurities and ineptitude. You have brought out the greed factor very well here. Very well written. Thanks for sharing1

Comment from Gloria ....
A most clever rhymed and metred poem to meet with the challenge of one of the deadly sins. After envy, I'd say greed is one of the worst, as it also seems to have a huge component of addiction involved because enough is never enough not matter how much damage these acquisitors visit on other people.
Wishing you much luck in the booth. :))

Comment from Ginnygray
One of my favorite lines is how some swim in their vaults like Scrooge McDuck! Greed is rapacious and especially when it comes to Government power!
Great descriptive writing! I don't think you missed a characteristic. Can you imagine what the world would be like if everyone tried to live by the Golden Rule?
I would be so happy if right now they would live by our Constitution and especially the first amendment!
Definitely time to be vocal and speak up! Freedom is Heaven on Earth and so many take their freedoms for granted! I really get concerned about the world and the future that my Children and Grands are going to live in if we don't stand up and speak out against corruption and tyranny! It is trying to control our schools and our elections!
Sorry, I went off topic. You really summarized at the end with truth,"Hearses don't have a trailer hitch!

Greed, that's a good choice to write about, it runs rampant! I really like the second last stanza:
The acquiring of treasures on Earth,
Won't gain a Heavenly berth,
The greedy don't seem to know,
You can't take it with you when you go,
