Possess
Mark 8:36 New King James Version (NKJV)
36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
Possessions
Hungering to receive
what you cannot give
to make it your own.
Is wishing for death
and its consequence
before you're fully grown.
To have and keep
what you cannot hold
destroys you to the core.
Envy and greed
will form your soul
as you want more and more.
You travel than on
tracks so straight
with no place left to turn.
You'll pick up speed
in a blind rage
to a place where one burn.
