Tangled Web

Tangled Web

Oh what a tangled web we weave, what a life we lead. 

At one end we chase material gain. 

While parents seek fruits from a seed to feed their suckling in need. 

Yet we still wrestle with each other for a fraction of a seed. 

I try to kill off this endless human need. 

However, it seems it’s the only way we breathe. 

Much like a hummingbird looking to feed. 

We continue to prosecute due to our endless greed. 

Our greed needs to recede allowing unselfishness to precede.
