L. J. Carber Poet Blank verse

The Only Thing That Matters

Search the world
for your treasures,
lap up luxury, 
fondle greed, 
eschew the lowly
and humble
while your ego
struts naked before
a disdainful world.

But I would give up
Shakespeare's crown
and the touch of Midas
to seek the only thing
that matters-- to be
in God's good grace.
