Huntsmen search this thing out
Looking for the pot of gold
We have been warned
From biblical times
This story is centuries old
***
Try as you may
To hunt this thing down
And watch evil events unfold
Don’t ignore
The evil this green can bring
It’s a trick that’s ancient and cold
***
It’s a spirit
You can’t see it or hear it
It wants you trapped in your personal greed
God said be anxious for nothing
He said He will provide all that we need
***
It will trap you
Before you trap it
So don’t be fooled by this scheme
It will keep you sick
Weary and tired
Chasing an American dream
***
If you look back on all who hunt it
You’ll see how lonely they sit
This thing can be deceptive and mean
Be careful when you focus on it
***
Beware of this thing
Warning signs are hard to be seen
But this thing is clever and keen
It will have you believe
You’re on top of the world
I call it the evil man’s green

This is a thought-provoking poem. The use of the term “green” as a symbol for wealth is interesting, as it suggests that material wealth can bring both good and bad.
The evilness and greed of people has turned something that is supposed to help us flourish and care for ourselves into something evil. Money is not evil but people are, evidence by all the spoofing, the governments drama, the telemarketers scam call, the thievery of the pandemic money and more. Its just horrible the evil this “green” can bring.
Awesome poem! So vivid and direct with the fluidity. Keep that pen busy!
