Psalm 49
They opened up a subdivision
Family names the theme.
And all the dough
The kudos so
Much fuss, just like a dream.
But brass ring pull
And pockets full
Left little room for God.
And He supreme
Worth all their dreams
Got no respectful thought.
Pity.
The names will pass
They die like beasts
And then must bow the knee.
Too late to see the
Friendship rich
That hosts Eternity.
Too late to know
The Song of Grace
Some trust most
Heartily.
