This is a poem about a man and his journey into greed, it was supposed to be longer but I never got around to finishing it.

On a day when things were grand and free...

I struck the clock with my hand
And realized it was only half passed three
Nothing odd about that
  Nothing strange or misplaced
    Just a feeling of remorse in some distance
      Space.

What is mine I inquired of the ticking clock
  but is said little if anything
    actually it said "naught"
     I wanted to remark or perhaps
      ask amiss... I was being contemplative,
       or perhaps a little frank.

But still no response came not even once
   not even twice, I gave up when the chance
     came for thrice.

Whats mine is mine and no one else, I'll take
  it all even my old self.
   No I care not what you think or even say
    Whats mine is mine and you can't
      take anything that is mine away.

But how wrong I was, I should have stood
  Not long after my heart grew still
   It missed a beat or maybe two, it soon
    stopped revealing a little to late..

That all I had was never mine, it now was
  others or perhaps none at all. I held my breath
   or so I kept, for it was my last indignant thought...

I liked the poem. It was supposed to be longer? You really should post more of them, I didn't know you wrote them. xD
