Today's word is "Faustian" ... FOU-stee-uh n ... sacrificing spiritual values for power, knowledge, or material gain. (Dictionary.com)
Deal
Have you ever made a deal,
That seemed almost Faustian?
One that looked to future gain,
Yet ended where it had begun?
The lure of fame or money,
Or a life with troubles few,
Of everything for nothing,
Yet you watched it, as it flew.
The best things can't be held,
Just gathered to your heart,
The rest will fall from broken hands,
While the devil takes his part.
