Money and God

More men are moved by God than even money,
we want God's love more than the worldly things,
you catch flies with, not vinegar, but honey,
we aim more to be normal than be kings.
"Most men live lives of quiet desperation,"
so wrote Thoreau of our need to survive,
but most choose honor over condemnation,
and only steal some bread to stay alive.
We have our sins and one big one is greed,
but still most people put their faith in heaven,
we know God gives us most of what we need,
and we trust God our sins will be forgiven.
It's hard to go to heaven if we're rich,
we know, O Lord, we go without a stitch.
