Graven

Fränz Müller

Do you put the “I” in idolatry?

Habitually practice sin?

Do you desire that lake of fire?

Well, buddy, dive right in!

We live in a selfish culture now

where others are just a pest;

just sip your wine and jump the line

and do what you do best!

Or we, perhaps can make a choice

to not be called the worst,

and put peoples’ needs before ourselves

and think of others first!

    Nicely written. Your poem revolves around the contrast between selfishness and selflessness in contemporary society.

    Fränz, this gave me a smile, my friend. There is a playful edge to it, but the message comes through loud and clear. Sometimes a little humor is the perfect vehicle for a serious reminder. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
