Slowing ourselves, looking at the world
the disparity, the chasm
the haves and the have nots
our lives twisted
driven by our lust for wealth
for the things of this earth
our possessions our idols
governing our days
More godly choices
to live a simpler life
to care for our neighbors
more than the things in our lives
