A Battle Rages: Between Materialism And Spirituality Poem by Terence George Craddock

a life choice is made to choose
values materialism or spirituality
greed lusts chooses more wealth

control luxury power possessions

enlightened purity spirituality
chooses love kindness forgiveness
blessings compassion mercy

greed desires to dictate covert

take exploit seize own harness
love chooses to heal give gift
share sacrifice care tend nurture

greed may sour desperately cling
to control life fearing age death
love at peace may smile choose

to sacrifice self
time energy
for the love

of others
to enrich
their lives...
