In shadows' grasp, where darkness breeds,
Lie envy's poison and greed's vile seeds.
They twist and turn, corrupt the soul,
A toxic brew that takes its toll.

Envy's green-eyed gaze, a bitter brew,
Consumes the heart, a venom true.
It casts a pall upon the mind,
Leaving no peace, no solace to find.

Greed, a hungry beast that craves,
More and more, its appetite engraves.
It blinds the eyes to what is real,
Leaving emptiness in its cruel ordeal.

Yet, let us rise above their snare,
With empathy and kindness rare.
To conquer envy, let love ignite,
And quell greed's flame with a selfless light.

In unity, we find our grace,
Defeating envy and greed's embrace.
For in compassion's gentle sway,
We pave a path to a brighter day.
