Rich and Famous ©

These questions I ask, these queries are raised.

Whose concerns do I present, whose issues are they?

Well, if you’re the rich, the famous, the distinguished - the few;

I will be your advisor, elevating you.

Why is it that the wealthy are at most, never healthy?

The famous can’t live normal lives; do they need lessons in being stealthy?

The distinguished find that their joy is missing or has extinguished?

Triumph exists but in just ‘money’ there is no true success in this.

Hollywood is plagued with anorexic, bulimic, alcoholics - all ‘stars’;

Restricted from using wealth to buy joy, “so we’ll just buy ten cars!”

“…own seventeen mansions, on these mansions - in one year I’ll just do five expansions,

…have my own security, so I’m protected because they all have hand guns.

Yet, some of my billion dollar friends have passed away leaving all their wealth to their grandsons.”

“Maybe I should ponder, was I blessed just to make a living?

Or was I blessed so that with my blessing I can do some giving?

If I do a lot of giving to those with a poor standard of living,

Will that imply that in God’s books I’ll be forgiven?”

 

I believe your worst truth will come when you have all that you wanted up until now, and after it all; you’re left maybe more empty, lonely, sick or sad,

My advice is that sin is always fun in short-bursts like air in a brown paper bag.

You may be free to be you, but in being ‘you’ you will never ever be truly free,

Like sickness needs a cure, we all need to be honest and true to the ‘me.’

a Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

I have found true life my friends; it is this, give up on ‘you’ and all that it consists.

Your dreams, aspirations, desires and all, may never even be what you were ever made to do at all,

With a little turning like a minor switch on a train’s track, God will correctly align us, it’s so easy! Wisdom makes it like that.

Worldly intellect is demonstrated with diction for experts,

Whilst God’s wisdom and power through Jesus’ miracles were wrought by a few words.

This ease of salvation is not for us to underestimate the expectation

Because you’ll press on to the mark as God will shine his Glory through your frustrations.

b So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.–

It was for our eternal purpose and peace that didst cause Jesus to bleed.

 

a  Matthew 10:39 (NIV)

b John 8:36 (NIV)

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
