Hollow Pursuit


Poor little rich girl what’s on your mind?
Always seeking happiness in every kind

Of materialistic things to make you smile
That only lasts for a little while

From one new thing to the next
Yet your spirit still remains so perplexed

Not being able to find the one amazing thing
That will cause your spirit to vehemently ring

With happiness and joy untold
To infuse the essence of your very soul

Because you’ve searched every wrong and crooked place
Being fooled by the masks in your neverending life’s race

Not realizing the true treasure is not in this barren land
But simply rests in the center of the Master’s hand.
