Poem of the Week

October 2, 2008 #502

GREED GRIPS EVERY HEART, NO LESS THAN LUST

Greed grips every heart, no less than lust.
Reason drowns in fantasies of power.
Even though the journey ends in dust,
Each finds ample cravings in the hour,
Destined to dark seeds that root and flower.

I need to know how to ask permission to use one of your mothers poems for a church project. I can't find a email address for your site to email your webmaster that is refered to for questions. Maybe this will get the answer. I don't have a lot of time, thanks, Angie
