Gathered for a Future

His barns, his cupboard
his house bulging, bursting
more than enough, what he needed
Gathered for a future
but never satisfied
his possessions ruling
his heart, his soul and mind
Consuming his vision
his focus on this earth
nothing to show the Lord,
an accounting for heavenly birth
