Selfish You

You first came to us in humble bowing and grace But today contempt is written all over your face You now have amassed wealth and still more you collect And it dawns on you that these things you must protect And so you demean, intimidate and dare quash out esteem Making believe that we are not worth wealth's slightest gleam But remember that God through men put you there But consequence will be fair and square You pride shouts aloud your weaknesses To a large and listening crowd of witnesses And their hurt hearts wish to prompt you of your numbered days But whether offense leaves or stays Remember them honourably or they choose to forget you And when you are compelled to fit their shoe You will sadly remember of a glory to which you cannot return For fire can destroy but for only a while does it burn.
