It’s a little room of your own
that shelters you or gives you company
in time of stress-
It’s a close friend
who is yet to traverse
on the path of waywardness-
it’s this much; no more no less-
you’ll be lost in a palace-
rooms after rooms
will consume you like fire-
camaraderie of a wild kind
will land you
in the shore of the soulless-
even as meager an amount
of thirty pieces of silver
sent someone to the abyss once…..

Wow! Just enough, that is all I pray for. Your poem spells this out so clearly it makes me cry. Why did anyone ever–does anyone ever–destroy the world by taking asking for more than they need? Sharing! Thank you!
Oh, the perilous pitfalls of money!
The evil of greed well expressed in your poem.
In Australia they are making new laws to protect aged parents from their children who are stealing their money and property. Evidently it is rife but hard to get the correct figures because understandably the parents are too ashamed to report their children to the police. There is an elder abuse hotline here as well….It is just chilling to witness the way life is going.I wonder if the barbarians were as bad as this.
PS
Yesterday at my supermarket I saw a small jar of Himalayan pink salt. I thought of you…bought it..and now I have no idea what to do with it. LOL
This is how I fell, too: a little peaceful room is enough – a castle full of rooms is too much for the spirit to rest easy.

Greed is such an ugly thing when in human nature it is the norm to share with others and if you need they will share with you. Sadly the world is ruled by greedy people, and their number is growing. Being mean and selfish is now a worthy attribute of success.
Even thirty pieces of silver…wow. That is quite an ending to this powerful poem.

Definitely a danger if not managed well

Superbly crafted Sumana…that closing is marvellous.
Great one Sumana…less is more. We pray for the spirit of satisfaction (no more, no less)
And yet, that thirty pieces of silver can really help in time of need. Loved this one.
I do not want to go to the abyss! Lol! Nice work, Sumana! Hugs!
Wow, expression of greed and want essayed beautifully. Loved the line ‘in the shore of the soulless’
Cheers
