Desiring Possessions by Raymond A. Foss

Desiring possessions
a new car in the driveway
the latest, the greatest
the best of everything
Our lives measured, valued
by that which we had
Denying God from the center
the focus of our lives
Cleaving to the temporal
to that which will rust
and return to dust
Forgetting the commandment
to love God the most
and paying an awful cost
