Of Things That Do Not Matter

Of things that do not matter,
the toys of temporal gain,
these things can dim your vision
and cause your heart such pain.

Was it ever to be desired, 
a life with focus not divided 
but to be so deeply inspired 
with the mission wherein He guided.

The acquisition of things
is a kingdom here for some.
If not seen from a Godly view,
it can leave you spiritually numb.
