A profound satire. Subtle and meaningful.

I really like this. Another, creative, look at this human phenomenon. I am reminded of something I read that invites you to do something for someone without their knowing YOU did it. Maybe an antidote, huh? Clever and piercing poem.

Fascinating well balanced expression. I take it Avarice is some sort of angel???
