Loving Money is Greed

Money is all I need
It is the root of greed
Always need to be in the lead
The devil has planted his seed

Fancy Clothes
Sparkling in jewels
Stylist furniture and grand homes
Expensive cars to show their wealth

Charity is not their concern
Not sharing in their reserves
Business and the market are their religion
Some end up in prison

Heaven is not their concern
Don’t care if they burn
Go to universities to learn
Which way will they turn

Will they choose self-glory
Will they choose business over family
Will they choose honesty
Will they choose loyalty

Greed leads to lust and deceit
For money causes their family retreat
Blessed are those that stay at home 
Enjoying their children as they grow

Greed leads to bad choices
Causes those to loss focus
It is all about what they can achieve
Leaving others in pieces as they leave
