Naked From the Womb

I came into the world naked
Defenseless and helpless 
Poor and up against a loveless world
I gave my soul to the devil
In the quest for silver and gold
And now eternal damnation  stares me in the face
What is the essence of life anyway?
To serve my creator and live hereafter 
I can never be richer at death
Than I was at birth
Naked I came from the womb
Naked I shall return to dust 
Mundane possessions 
Pale into insignificance
