A whole array of things,
Lifeless trivial things,
Lay however last left.
Things to humanity flings
Burdens, sorrows. and joys.
Lifeless trivial things
Cannot encompass the
Emotion human brings.
Selling your soul is prizing
Lifeless trivial things.
Mitus will tell it has
Been the downfall of kings
And rules poor men's lewd dreams,
Lifeless trivial things.
Society comes to
girls lusting for gold rings
And lives wasted for those
Lifeless trivial things.
Green strips, metal disks
do not give birds their wings.
What is the funtion of
Lifeless trivial things?
That snare and trap minds
into thinking of "blings?"
The moment you die, those
lifeless trivial things,
like the world, forget you.
The nightengale still sings.
Listen to the poets
Lifeless trivial things
Cannot give you hope or
anything that clings
After departing. Those
Lifeless trivial things
will not introduce you
to the great King of Kings.
They are just simple things
Lifeless trivial things.
When something shiny snags
you eye, beware of things.
This is good! It's so true and it reminds me of these verses in 1 John 2:15-17 "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever." and Mark4:18-19 "And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the word, but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful."
