Things to adorn yourself.

Things for your home.

Things of a thousand kind, 

what do you own?

Gather it all til you have everything,

but know this that when the day’s done –

despite all your things

you don’t have a damn thing

if the sun sets…

and you’ve got no one.

You can buy land and home

across this world made of stone,

gathering more into barns than the rest.

You can travel and see

every sight there may be

under Heaven from East to the West.

You can spend every day

finding more ways to pay,

grabbing all you can possibly get.

But remember there’s something

worth far more than these…

to die without any...

I had to trade another jot,

I had to sell a tittle.

I had to cuz they told me that

I had to give a little.

I had to sit and wonder at

the setting of the sun,

what giving just a little costs

when all is said and done.
