Foolishness and Greed

Proverbs 15:20 & 21

A wise son in wisdom makes a father glad,
A folly man scorns his mom, gets her sad;
Foolishness is joy to him void of wisdom,
With no concept of the Heavenly Kingdom;
He does not care with no guilt or shame,
For with him life is merely just a game;
Set on rudeness and would never share,
He doesn't mind seeing others in despair;
Only one concern is in the mirror he sees,
As a centerpiece is one of his fallacies;
His mind is only set on just a single goal,
With greed in taking the entire bankroll;
Since he feels that he can take it with him,
Wanting his money pot filled to the brim;
His way is the only way no need for advice,
Living the good life no need to sacrifice;
In due time he will know how much of a fool,
How his methods of madness was so cruel;
The next life he won't be able to negotiate,
Remaining locked for him at Heaven's gate.
