Something More

Restless, always something more
the grass greener, skies bluer
somewhere else
worldly values
clouding our sight
taking our focus
on the higher things
The desire,
the lie of our wealth
the urgings of commerce
to buy, to have more and more
What of the rich man with his silos bursting
empty handed when the accounting was of God
