How far will you go greed?
When will you end
When will you end
Will it be when you've grown out of needs
Will it be when you've made everything bend
To the will of your wants
To the will of your desires
To the will of destruction caused by your fires
Or will it be when the world has seized to give
Ran out of all that it had grown to achieve
Sucking out the richness of these lands
Sucking from the efforts of human hands
Sucking away all in its way and leaving it bare while the greed expands
How far will you go greed?
When will you end
When will you end

Engulfed by the fated doom
The children cry and their mothers too
Save them from this living hell
That they had no chance of making well
Brought upon by the ones who see no other but themselves
Walking around with whispers that they are soulless human shells
They don't seem to notice with their gazes fixed somewhere you can't tell
The ambitious visions which to reach all is what they are willing to sell
Puppets of their whims we are, puppets bound to thread
Puppets are thrown away when they don't do as said
Puppets sway the master's way as long as they are not freed
But the one controlling the master is none other than greed
How far will you go greed?
When will you end
When will you end

The repeated questions about greed create a haunting tone that sticks with the reader, and the puppet metaphor near the end is especially brilliant cause it makes greed feel alive

The imagery is really vivid and memorable, especially lines like “Sucking from the efforts of human hands”, I also love how the poem grows from personal greed into larger destruction giving it like real intensity
