Buying Back A Single Human Soul Poem by Terence George Craddock

is it possible this earth planet
our world can horror produce
greed so horrendous hungry vast
cruel excessive as to give birth to
''a human being whose desire
for money equals the universe''
yes the world is plagued infested
with many of these vile cretins

this is the state of a greed flawed human soul
when billions billions a trillion trillion dollars
much much much more is never never enough;
yet even money stretching earth to mars cannot
buy back a good heart trashed discarded sacrificed
all resources money in this vast vast vast universe

cannot buy back even one human soul;
strangely the reverse is true of Jesus
who came proclaims his own blood sacrifice
on cruel torture cross paid for all the souls in all
humanity free paid for any all people in all
countries cultures ethnic races who wish to claim
back a perfect immoral soul for all eternity
a promise to live eternity in heaven paradise
