To be a Shepherd (An Original Poem)

You see,
When I didnt have a father
Not a *father figure*
But a "father" as in *a Lord*
May the *Lord* be the only master you serve

When we serve a master that does not serve our *Lord*
We must act how  the Hebrews acted and flee Egypt

You must only serve a master that claims to serve the Lord with thine works and no other

If a man does not work or labor for the glory of the living God
Then he only works for himself in his selfishness

What is bread worth if it is poisoned?
This is the same with money

If you earn your money through "covet means"
What is it worth really?
The price of your soul?

Your soul has no price, let us remember that

What if we spoil others?
What if we enable them?
I say spread the wealth thin as butter
Governments of man shouldn't control capitalism
But the Laws of God you will find control greed

I want a field of sheep & a place called home
And I am happy with life
That to me it is like heaven
Truly
Thanks be to God
