What of Our Neighbor

In our pursuits, our drive
seeking and following
society’s call
what of our neighbors,
their real needs unmet
While we are focused,
driven by out possessions,
they are lost, hungry
for things that last
for things that matter,
the eternal rather than the temporal
while we are worried about our stuff
