Fool's Gold

There are many delights
upon which to set our sights.
There are many pleasures
that we may choose to treasure.
Yes this world is full of false hopes and cures
and of this you may be sure -
Check the Bill of Goods you've been sold
for this world is full of Fool's Gold.

Sins are often not presented as sins
but come gift-wrapped and disguised as soulish whims.
Why not do it? Everyone else does!
It was the crowd that crucified the Lord of love.
That which the world sets its heart upon
(the lust for wealth and flesh goes on and on),
is temporary and passing
and will not be out lasting
the pleasure that comes from knowing Christ -
the one who holds the keys to Eternal Life.

So distract yourself from this worlds' goal.
Stop spending the currency of your soul
on what, in the end, will only prove to be,
    
                         Fools Gold!
