It'll Cost You
May 10, 2024
Tin can, begging
Sire, will you spare?
Think ‘bout it for a second
Mega multimillionaire
That green, 28, 29, 30 atomic
Body odor, swore he’s alcoholic
Mind racing but got bands to hand
He pushin’ further, disrespectin’
He reachin’ think he grabbin’
Kick him back, enough harassin’
Dust, and dirt, and rock, and spit
His face covered, his eye split
He stand up, look down,
Listen child, I know you righteous, know you kind
But I bear this cross, I wear this crown
This has cost you, your mind is misaligned
Thoughts are sinful, you’ll pay the price
Wicked acts will jeopardize
Promised land no guarantee
You should think about how much it costs.

This is a written poem telling the story of a man meeting a homeless man begging for money on the streets. He refuses to give him money due to his selfishness. The homeless man then reveals himself as God and tells him that his selfishness cost him a spot in heaven. A lesson on the impacts of the choices you make in day-to-day life.
