gods of wealth – v2

we worship false gods
of status, of the earth
gods of wealth
of stuff, of acquisition
the lies of our land
of greed, of avarice
money for gluttony
everything in excess

we worship false gods
gods of wealth
of raw consumption,
of purchasing power
capitalism a lie
so far from Jesus
the accumulation of wealth
our millstone.
