all that glitters

all that glitters

though gold for us might coruscate

and tempt with false prosperity,

a heavenly home is our true fate.

we are called to conquer hate

and told to be a rarity

though gold for us might coruscate.

dishonest tongues will obfuscate

any celestial clarity;

a heavenly home is our true fate,

so let’s show them how we create

a paradise of charity.

though gold for us might coruscate,

and with its shining visions bait

us with such gross asperity,

a heavenly home is our true fate.

temptation will not desecrate

and reduce us to barbarity:

though gold for us might coruscate,

a heavenly home is our true fate.
