Element of Greed

1. Fire, Earth, Air, and Water...
These elements breathe life yet can also bring slaughter
They bare gifts for mankind
But do not come without bind

2. Fire burns bright, illuminating the night
Its crimson hues emanate, providing warm light
Yet our curiosity bests us, we desire much more
We reach out to grab the flame but combust to the floor

3. The Forests, the trees, the flowers and weeds
All provide for us an essential need
For without the Earth there is no foundation
Yet we pollute it, bringing us devastation

4. Life begins with a breath of fresh air
The most valued essence flowing everywhere
We breathe it plenty never thinking twice
How man has contaminated it without paying the price

5. Water, behold- the Trinity of Life
The most delicate force filled with potential strife
For it bares the most diverse spirit- solid, liquid, gas
But we lust for its thirst, drowning us amass

6. Man has failed to be thankful for these gifts
The Four acknowledge betrayal as they begin to drift
Fire fades, Earth rots, Air thins, Water taints
Their wrath will now be known as Thunder soon awakes
It crashes down unforgivably, punishing those who take
