This Material World Poem by Timothy David

This Material World



Why do you want to have these things?
These Things you hold so dear,
Why do you want to own so much?
To me it isn’t clear.

And why do you need to hold and grasp
These things of glitz and glam?
This material worlds you living in
Is alone destroying man

How come you need a better car?
Than the man who lives next door?
Do you think it’ll make you happier?
To own a little more

Why do you watch entertainment news?
About the Goss in Hollywood?
Tell me will it feed your soul
And do you think it ever could?

So if there’s just one little thing
That I could say to you
Id tell you to stop and take a look
At what natures given you

And I’d like to say that you would change
The way you see this land
And then realise that happiness
Can’t be held inside your hand

So have a peak inside your heart
And see the soul that lies within
Then let spirituality be a part of
This material world you living in
