Green-eyed Greed desires feed
With consummate stealth;
Dressed in tattered rags of Need,
It veils the wares of wealth –
All culminate in death.

Indeed, they do, Laura! Shame not nearly enough is done to curtail it – let alone eradicate it.

That’s an almost shocking photo – it encapsulates the false colours and open maw of greed – ideal for your poem. Tattered rags of need indeed – such insight!
