A God

I found a God in someone else's wallet 
The size of a paper fold 
Sometimes it dwells in someone else's pocket 
And it's too course and hot to hold 

For it has a true power 
That could dwarf even the highest tower 
It can make the brave cower 
And the righteous to act improper 

Its true power is amazing 
It can compel someone to do untoward thing 
It can persuade and dissuade 
And can cause things to fade 

So guard your heart against its luster 
Sometimes it does not need to glimmer 
You can't just hold it when you see it shimmer 
You must wait for your crave to simmer 

For those who hold it when it's hot 
Are stuck in the power of its spell 
For it can cause a soul to rot 
And one's conscience to dispel
