Being attached to this world is surely not good,
Always longing for more and better,
Trying to live up to the rich in the neighbourhood,
Unable to see that all the things you have don't matter.
We.re so sad when we lose the things that we own,
Forgetting that they were given to us on loan,
We spend money and time on the things of this world,
Heedless to the lessons that are constantly being told.
Our houses are becoming bigger and higher,
And we still we cannot fulfil our desire,
The expensive cars we drive must have all the latest features,
And we neglect to consider what lessons this teaches.
Our love for this world goes unsurpassed,
And we refuse to learn from people of the past,
We behave like this earth is our final abode,
As we shop and we spend according to the latest mode.
It's time we realize that our worldly love,
Keeps us from loving the One above,
It holds us and binds us and it keeps us behind,
And so we remain blind,
Completely unable to find,
The greatest love, of which there is no other Kind!
