"Money vs Spirit"

My fire rises,

and my spirit burns.

 

Anger comes over me,

erupting over your folly.

 

Mouths serve mammon,

and kiss the bread of Christ.

 

Hearts measure life,

in mammon’s name.

 

Reality can’t live without it.

so the body toil for it.

 

7 days we toil for the demon,

Then act righteous for one day,

 

Your wealth and success in material,

is of no value in a barren world.

 

And a barren world will it be,

like the dryness of the red ground.

​

I say these sharp words,

for the sake of sanity.

​

Do not let money consume your spirit,

lest it consumes all of you.

​

Let your spirit dwell for life,

count the value of a life.

​

For money is but a tool.

A need of the world,

and life which you toil for,

is of God. 

​

In this you do well,

and you will be accepted.

In the spirit of your mind,

and the house where you dwell.

​

Yet not all who dwell  with you,

will understand what is God's,

nor will they accept you.

​

For they are of the world,

and its needs.
