Possessions

What we possess is not our own, Everything we have is on loan, From when we are born Until we depart Our possessions will go But some will keep their hearts. The wicked and power-hungry kind Will have to leave their hearts behind Black hearts are unacceptable in heaven above Because black hearts are devoid of love Heartless people feel a need For wealth, power, self-love and greed. They think they will live forever, And never, die But death comes to us all Even the rich and powerful. Heaven is for the pure of heart, A heart, that's true, If you are heartless, Heaven has no place for you.
