I must be successful.
I must be popular.
A winner.
Powerful,
Attractive,
Well-known,
Wealthy,
It's all about ME.
Living a life
To be envied; applauded.
And it's all a damned lie.
You can't buy happiness;
Or the rich
Would always
Be happy.
So often...
Winners are losers. The last become first.
We discover Our heroes To be villains.
Gods we believed in Have dropped dead.
The world offers me
A culture of death and despair.
Jesus offers me
Life - exciting; full; abundant.
And I believe Him.
