Lust For Gold
Lust for Gold
The lives we live, made by free choice,
Are guided by an inner voice.
That clearly calls upon true hearts,
Strength, withstanding, goodness starts.
And faith, when born, becomes a rock.
Singing God’s praises to His flock.
Achieving mighty miracles,
Believing…by trust uniting peoples.
And every effort made by good men.
Shall, their zealous choices defend –
But people, against goodness disposed.
Enrich their evils with ills proposed.
Disparity soon shows its face.
And dreams return from outer space.
Greedy leaders seek their gold.
And chuckle as their hopes unfold.
