Vanity Slaves

Observe; glance to see Ow my word-this is so much of these slaves, I hear they talk swag Living to be trendy enough Living to get the tag Giving an impression of how they possess the truth of vanity, Nike's mark as a flag Louis Vuitton's loafers has to bring justification, From getting attention to forbidden respect Attention From the budget they reserve To wild spending of honesty Only to let the poor observe Alteration Nevertheless Mandela's tribulations had to be for This young lady's Gucci Empowered slaves Jesus' Crisification is ironically given gratitude, Like our lives are at wage-money Brings some attitude Like uprising & loving the mirror from any latitude Unknowingly our grace we let darkness intrude, We starve for spiritual truth, Spiritual food Ego surely is some messed up pursuit, If the next generation will ever experience the epitome of real humanity... Let us feel free to fly. If not, Let us love one another not love the status of money but of God in all sanity, Even if its like insanity, Let us not live only to die... The vagueness behind your statute is just the worst profanity, More like A Slave Of Vanity!!
