High Cost of Covetousness

I wrote this poem back in February of '09. Apparently, I was struggling with covetousness. Thank God for growth!

Is it worth it?

But it'll be so sweet

When I'm rockin' those Coach shoes on my feet

You only live once

So mind as well live it up, I say

But how do you suppose I do that in a Godly way?

Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial

I say,

It is a benefit...@least to me

To have the material things I desire

Even if that means I burn my pockets down to the last thread

Ain't like I'm robbing God of His

And I'm single...don't have no kids

So why can't I spoil me?

Ain't I worth it?

Maybe I'm missing the point

Have to be because something doesn't feel right
