I haven't wrote anything for a while
And for the usual reasons
Because I'm tired
Of my voice been ignored
While this stupid civilization
Keeps paying homage
To their shopping God in the sky
They won't listen, no they won't stop
Untill there's nothing left for anyone
Except a giant pile of garbage
Where a planet used to be.

This is the song that inspired the creation of my latest poem, and thread.

I think means that people are more obsessed to buy things with no regard for its effect on the earth. Buy and cast away. I think the god in the sky is who they would say is OK with it all. It is not a matter of being aware of the earth, other creatures. The shopping god says it is fine to satisfy yourself, with no regard to anyone else.

Everyone loves mammon or, at least, has loved mammon. Moving toward God and His Son is moving away from that.

God loves us, but where is our love for Him?

Not quite!

There are some people who really do love God and as a result are striving to please Him. There seem to be many bearing the label of Christian who put too much emphasis on "me" and not enough on Him.

Who besides God can accurately separate the two?

Why exactly does a perfectly loving God need more love?

Because as it reads on the 10 commandments, God is a jealous God and we are to worship Him alone. God is possessive of His creation.
I feel the same way about my daughter. But the judge didn't take my feeling's about her into account :)
