Two cars in every driveway

Is the heart material 
or has materialism taken over the heart. 
Are we fickle because of modernisation 
or has modernisation taken over our souls?...

Flames sifts and seizes all, mankind’s desires burns through all 
All is exchanged for fire, for fire is the highest priced gold 
With a pearl within the flickering flames, still and wailing...

Once there was a wise man called Joseph gears
True to his conscience believes Holy Spirit steers
Materialism, an addiction to kill one's soul
Jesus Christ, his leader model
Bloody gears! this world is for cracks ask your peer....

Seduced is a mild term
For what some
Are trying to do
To all of us.

Materialism 

Commercialism

Consumerism 

Spend your money to save some

WTF

A wake up call is needed

Well here it is

What do you really need

To live.?.?....

Those with piggish hearts I'd berate
for desiring each worldly prize.
Avarice is a shameful trait.
Materialism blinds their eyes.

Big house, three cars and shopping evryday.  Materialism, socalisim and consumerism. Ism, 
ism ,ism.  Being in debt.

In the RED. Stressed out.  Diamond rings, bling, bling , bling.
Bored and no hope. Greed and deceit.

Money dosen't by happiness....

The earth belongs to the One who created it*
We are only stewards of the area we possess,
Known to the ancients, this fact is no secret
No one owns anything forever is my guess,
So, enjoy it while you can is as good as it gets.

(*Psalm 24:1)

Materialistic pleasures are ripples in the water
       Seem elegant but vanish soon
Ripples will not prevail in the perpetual rain
      they get dispersed due to over flow
Non-materialistic pleasures are water in the sea
      Seem salty and briny but immortal
     They would never ever get drained...

Thanks to all who
Having lived through
Another year with cheer,
Never asking more than your due,
Knowing how many have
So much less than you and,
Given our ability to continue
Increasing wealth with so many
Vested in materialism
In the good 'ol U.S. of A ... Thank You for
Never forgetting to be
Grateful today....

A prayer is like seduction to your soul
Your church is the glamour the world bestowals
Your bible is the flashy neon lights and billboards
Your truth is the multiplicity of greedy
Your salvation is fruition of materialism
Your retribution is its finitude and lost satiety
Heaven becomes invisible through the eye of a needle...

Long arms of tender compassion
Oneness of embittered Humanity
Visceral faith was your salvation
Encompassing all vain materialism
Lenitive of the corporal punishment 
Illuminating a hope encrypted in a
Necropolis of suppressed ideas 
Extruding life from deep darkness  
Seeping rain from saturated soil
Sedative of every entombed soul...

A soul so chained it dragged the weight
Through the graveyard to the vast estate
Into a life money bound  
Pretensious living their great crown
Money their god and baptism
Soul chained by materialism
No longer life of the party
Caught between life and death..bungee
Chained soul needs an exorcism
To free from consumerism

possibly unfinished...

World of ruse
~~~~~~~~~~~
Materialism is transitory
Illusory, a derivative of the lacking soul
And its need to attain a truth
Veiled by the belief of mortality
Limitations are a necessity
For the sake of the grand tapestry
Far too infantile are the masses perceptions
An elusive cognitive grasp
No, just too simple
For all the fools misled by the blind...

Always looking for that ultimate

That ultimate whatever

Whatever you want

When you want it


What will you do when you get it?

What are the sacrifices  you had to make?

Was it all worth it?

Did it all end up as you had planned?


When the realization sets in

That you can’t take it with you

The materialism falls apart

And you are only left baring your soul...

From times in past in kingdoms vast 
 Man has taken thou time 
Pandered to his own needs 
Making our world a debauchery 
Fraught with weight and burden
Man fail to cease the day 
Thou has seen the daughters of elysium stray 
As does the world decay 
 So haveth an appraisal see 
Out with materialism in time 
To preserve the world in the name of the divine...

Desensitized
from the world'd murky underbelly
self mutilate your soul
free your mind
serve the masses to the wolves
controlled by greedy mercenaries
hungry for power
society corrupted by corporate logos
brainwashed to purchase the goods
materialism to the very core
money equals power
equals corruption
billions spent on warfare
kill to make that green
evil has no borders...

We are all but a blink of life.
In a universe far older than we will ever truly know.
In this world full of greed and materialism.
We all reap what we sew.
For those given wealth and commonplace in life 
Will be no different than the person next door.
We all float in an ocean of bodies crashing apoun the shore 
And living is the struggle for those who have earned their place in life....

Theres a storm
Brewing in my mug
The coffees dark
The pane is dusty
The clouds are black
And the cup all brown 
Reflect on to me
From the book below
Lines words and para
memories lie folded
Some  toxic some not
In wooden frames
The light reverberates
Thro intangible channels 
 Of Materialism 
Just another 
stormy morn
Need to mend 
The storm within....
Theres a storm
Brewing in my mug...

Down with pessimism
  Drown not in negativism
Beware of escapism
  Steer clear of cynicism

Keep far from fanaticism
  It only invites antagonism
Too lonely is monasticism
  Too stifling, collectivism

Failure dogs perfectionism
  Emptiness mars materialism
Insularity deadens catechism
  Stoicism breeds fatalism...

True, this poem is full of criticism
  ~ But it ends on a note of optimism...

RAGS
You have rags
Of rags
Some bragging rags...
Must be your rag,
Because you have rags
With nothing in them
Except a bifurcate rag;

You have enough rags for life,
For a billion stars in the sky__
If there was a total number of lug rags
You would tote have it
 In the rag,
I wonder why you hoard so many rags
When all you ever put in them
Are other dirty rags.

uplinking to the world spiritual 
shifts focus away from materialism
it is a choice we make and adhere to
becoming over time innate affinity
so the universe takes care of us

skills possessed no longer matter
knowing all attributes are illusionary
yet in as ordained we play out our role
as does a virtuoso actor on stage
indifferent to jibes and praise 

we are not the doer 
God alone is the mover...
