Gorgosaurus, Gerhard Heilmann, 1927

Greed is powerful. Greed ensures there is never enough for one, let alone two, or—heaven forbid!—three. Greed brings choking and births belly aches. Greed suppresses contentment, dissuades cooperation, and encourages conflict. Greed is both the parched earth and the deluge that floods it, a nag of want atop a pile of plenty. Greed promises, but never fulfills. It is the darkest sweet song that serenades the heart during the earliest hours of the day and the latest seconds of the night.
