The Vicarious Life
For many, their own life isn’t enough;
their thoughts must focus on another;
to imagine they’re made of the right stuff;
they must turn to a sister or brother.
Their own life, to them, has no appeal;
they imagine themselves as a star;

Love Thy Neighbor
Some act as tho God was asking a favor;
wondering; “Is God speaking to me?”
When He commanded we “love thy neighbor”
we asked, “Who might that neighbor be?”
So devoid of love, we’d become so deluded;

A Drought Of Love
Fatigue has taken command of my life;

a relic from generations past;
others view faith as thoughts of a clown;
whose very thoughts bring laughs.
Thoughts of faith’s power make us curious;
many even consider it very odd;
evidence of its power make some furious;
