Material Girl

Her materialism 
can not fade my material
what it boils down to
is heart measures people
soul should be ones
soul possession
everything else 
considered a blesin'
so next time you look in the mirror
ponder this question
why do you look down on those
you depict as less fortunate?
without all your worldly possessions 
you ain't got sh@%
All your overpriced boots
purses, jewelry from Tiffany
has transformed you 
into the epitome
of what makes people 
look at each other differently
poisoned have you 
our world 
your kind
always trying to redefine
gods law
that all are created equal
so unless your the sequel
to the resurrection
the only one you need judge
is..... self
find some real sense of direction
