I live for worldly desires,
And all of its fires,
Yes I'm proud of my love for time,
I cherish the now, I hold tomorrow in high regards,

Understand me,

I don't see my body as a shell,
I don't expect a reward such as "heaven",
I do not fear such lies as "hell",
Can you be a good person just by knowing that this is all there is?
What more do you want?!
Now that is true greed,
Not wanting what you have,
and waiting because you feel you deserve more than you are getting,
That is true sin,
Restricting yourself in the one life you posses,
Betting your greed on a strangers guess,
Help the planet that has birthed you, and your loved ones,
Do 't turn to the skies for forgiveness,
Cherish your world and its incomparable beauty!
Do not deny the ones who support you,
Who bear your good and bad days,
Throwing yourself at the feet of an unknown "god" of your choice,
Could you not suffice with this galaxy?
You need heavens?
You need more than what your under-appreciated planet has given you?!
That, my dear listener is Greed.
I love my life here and now, I don't expect anything more , I have no god that I count on for expressing my delusions.
