Just a little l onger (Poem: Lebrin Paruthimoottil)

You saw a nice house in town

The one that is big and has roofing that is brown

It makes you smile when you go at night to lie down

 

You want it, you want it now.

You see Elon Musk being rich

 

People becoming millionaires quickly on the switch

Dollar signs everywhere, even in the ditch

You want it, you want it now.

Honor, position, power

It makes people go cower

Earning respect forever

You want it, you want it now.

The blind, the deaf, the bald, the lame

You see them getting healed, and gone is their shame

You want to become healer that the apostles became

 

You want it, you want it now.

You are restless and full of anger

Want to feel younger, want to conquer

But the Lord says,

Just a little longer.


Lebrin Paruthimoottil,

Good poem. Greed is a bottomless pit that exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.-Erich Fromm
