Price Barrier

Charade of jewels,
shiny, bright and expensive,
God had given them to us,
in some form and shape,
we had gone the farthling,
measured the tape,
turned them into things,
good enough to gape,
now for this labor,
we owned it all,
and placed a price,
God was forgotten,
and so was his part,
now we had the full attention,
on deriving the price,
with full heart,
those who could not pay,
were denied the God,
had nothing to say,
and simply had to cud the cod.
