Material

Woe unto the fleshly love
That is wooed by glitter
And the erotic and erratic appetite to have
That leaves the heart bitter

Money and possessions
King Solomon's glory and plunder
Expensive sin and obsessions
The flesh doesn't cease to ponder

But Solomon is famed for wisdom
Even in the light of wealth and notoriety
And a God chosen kingdom
His cause was of divine sobriety

I tell you that the feel of want is Godly
And it's satisfaction ye endeavor to find
That you may revere it fondly
And with your essence it blends and binds
