Worshipping The Obtaining Of Money Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Professing to have integrity today,
Is as old as the discovering of a fossil.
People are into themselves and things.
And if a dollar bill is connected to it,
People worshipping the obtaining of money...
Will take it from a pocket,
Dropped from someone praying with eyes closed...
Sitting in a pew.
Or from a pulpit dressed immaculately...
To claim abundance is for all.
Although preaching about the humble beginnings,
Of 'One' who had sacrificed 'His' life...
With a doing of it just based upon faith.
But today...
If people can not display ACTS of materialism,
And from scriptures quote how it can be possessed...
A quality of life that has been less prioritized,
Would be greater reflected.
Instead of those on their knees disguising their lies.
To then annoint themselves blessed and highly favored.
