Keela's New Rideby Bryan Ellett

Keela always got whatever she wanted. Her father gave her a new bike, a nicer bike than any of her friends had. One day, Keela went into a store and left the bike out front, and when she came back outside, the bike was gone. She didn't care; she could just get another one!
Keela's father said he would not buy her a new bike, and he said that she would have to do chores to earn enough money to buy another one. So, for the next two months, Keela took out the trash, did the dishes, and scooped the dog's poop. Finally, Keela's father told her that she had earned enough money for a new bike. "I'd better work for a few more days," she told him, "because I need enough money to buy a bike lock, too."

How does the figurative language in these lines develop a theme of the poem?Shall worms, inheritors of this excess,
Eat up thy charge? Is this thy body's end?
Then soul, live thou upon thy servant's loss
And let that pine to aggravate thy store;
Buy terms divine in selling hours of dross;
Within be fed, without be rich no more.
