A huge silver chest sat on dusty old road It was enormous - so big, its top did not even show A small brown chest sat on the same dusty old road Very small, unattractive and erode Two men stood on the dusty old road One by the chest, one by the rock pile in front that showed The man by the chest whispered a word He said, “Which chest, anything preferred?” The other man looked with a devilish grin He looked at the small chest, and wondered “What was within?” Our brain, it can become corrupt in so many ways With greed in it, you will be shocked to see what it portrays Greed, is a death in its own way You may breathe, you may live, but you are doing so in disarray A greedy man knows nothing but wanting; he is a one dimensional man One dimensional is how the first organisms began Greed, and murder go hand and hand You will kill yourself getting what you demand There, was in one of the chest something great Food to feed yourself, and money to aide you for well over a decade Big and little play tricks on our mind For we think big means better all of the time Such is not always the case with all things big and small For the food and money lay in the chest that stood only four inches tall There, was in one of the chest something that was deadly Ten thousand scorpions, their pincers at the ready Big and little play tricks on our mind For we think big means better all of the time Such is not always the case with all things big and small For the Scorpions lay in the chest, that stood twenty feet tall A greedy man stood on the path |

Hi, Chacha! Whew! Am I ever glad that I was opting for the small chest. For as the saying goes, "Big things come in small packages"! ~ and this, you have illustrated perfectly!  Love & Light, Earth Angel |
