barren greed




her difficulty is remaining second

with her heart full of greed

for money, knowledge, and fame

like a barren womb sucking sperm



she desires the same

also for those she calls, ‘mine’

craving to achieve

spending neither energy, nor time



like that black cuckoo

who lays her egg in a crow’s nest

for a crow to incubate, and nurse

her baby like the cuckoo chick
