Things: possessions, materialistic things
So many: people to these: wish to cling
Yet of what use are these...things?
Can you eat them when you hunger?
Can you digest things of brick and wood?
No they are only visual distractions
Things you think you need...
As you are told you should...
Do clothes truly make the man?
Does what you wear change your life?
Are you better than the next person?
Simply because you look the part in life
Ah but surely it is better...
To look inside and see their heart
Actions speak louder than words
There is much insight to be gained
If we look at how you treat us all?
Yes then much will be explained!
So the questions must be asked?
Do things make you a better person?
Do they uplift your earthly soul?
No they only draw you further
From the blessed path that Jesus paved...
Let go of earthly splendour
Let go of human vanity I say
For you cannot take it with you
When you give up the ghost: dismayed
You can only take your character
Nothing else can you carry away
For all that is of this earthly world
Will surely evaporate like steam
When you go back to your God
Upon your dying day
