Greed
Greed is like a creed.
Concede it is religion.
Greed is like a breed.
Precede as a bit smidgen.
Greed is a bad deed.
Mislead with mass confusions.
Greed is a bad seed.
Succeed with mass delusions.
Greed is a stampede.
Impede the impulse movement.
Greed is a fast speed.
Proceed without improvement.
Greed is overfeed.
Exceed tons of fricassee.
Greed is not a need.
Indeed it is gluttony.
