Material Possessions Are Owned Only By Selfish Hearts
Don't be fooled by material possessions
that are owned only by selfish hearts
and the more they hold onto them tightly,
the quicker they'll disappear;
surely, they can make life much easier,
but not a peaceful one full of serenity.
Is it everybody's dream to own everything enough
to fulfill their materialistic needs through times of uncertainty...
if inside there's an emptiness deeper than any ocean's depth?
Spirituality is not dimensional as materialism which is clumsy.
Are they willing to make sacrifices
and only keep the essential things?
Their treasure has overflown and gold
is scattered around it to attract more greed;
will they give some away to the needy?
It'll do no good laying there worthlessly!
Material possessions are owned only by selfish hearts,
and prospering they are mindless of the beggar;
riches are precious jewels that steadily glitter...
then lose their luster when they're captured by thieves!
