The Price Of Greed

It is not a man or a woman
It is not even a human
It is what you chose for your life
It is why you left your son and your wife
It is the man made evil
It is what blinds most people

Money was your choice
Money was your loudest voice
Money was your brain wash
Money was your one approach
Money was your master
Money was your life disaster

One day you had a heart
money and greed tore it apart
One day you had a life
It is gone, no family and no wife
One day we made a promise, Greed stepped on it, so it vanished

Now you are standing behind bars
A memory of being happy with coins in the jars
Memories of the dark transformations
Memories when you lost your faith and sensations

Sorry that this was our fate
Sorry that you didn't have a strong gate
Sorry that this is the end
Sorry I can't pretend
Sorry you had a will and you had a choice
Sorry that's insane, you  didn't hear your Lord's voice.
Sorry I lost you, sorry for what you are going through..
Sorry that you did what you do
After all,
we will always love you.

Praying for you

" It is what you choose for your life." This is the issue, life is what we make of it. Sadly, we sometimes make mistakes or even commit sins. We appreciate what we had, not what we have. Still, we always seek forgiveness. God is merciful.
