Full Barns – v3

A new house, a new car
wealth in the bank;
ostentatious living
letting it all hang out

Full barns of the rich man
rewards here on earth;
but what of the ledger in heaven
the Book of his life

Full barns but an empty heart
thinking only of himself;
the indictment of the rich man
an accounting bound for hell.
