For What Profit is it?

For what profit is it

To gain all the riches in the world

When you could lose it in one day

If the markets crash?

For what profit is it

To own a huge house in the country

When thieves could break in and steal 

All of your precious possessions?

For what profit is it 

To own the latest and greatest big car

When it could rust away to nothing

If it's scratched by a tiny stone?

For what profit is it 

To own the largest clothes wardrobe ever

When one little moth could destroy it

With it's minute babies?

For what profit is it

To gain the whole world for a lifetime

Only to spend eternity in hell -

A place with no emergency exit?
