Material things,
What do they bring?
Sorrow and pain,
Drive you insane!
Spend all our time,
Wondering if that,
Could be mine!
Things that won`t last,
Worry about the past!
What have I got?
Not a lot!
Except the gifts that God gave,
That we might be saved!
Instead of enslaved,
Until the things are paid!
Save our lives from this hell,
Don`t worry where we dwell!
Hope we compel!
We judge on possessions,
It becomes,
An obsession!
This is regression,
It comes from oppression!
Have some discretion!
All that we see
Won`t last for infinity,
Don`t give up your divinity!
All of this earth,
What is it worth?
Everything comes from the dust,
So will it return!
Stop your yearning,
Start your learning!
Don`t be tempted by the lure,
Definitely don`t adore.
Only thing that endure!
Stuff we learn,
That`s pure?
Only then can we assure,
Our lives are worth more!
