Prone to wander ... satire
Numbers 32:13
13 So the Lord’s anger was kindled against the Israelites,
and he made them wander in the wilderness for forty years,
until all that generation that had done wickedly before the Lord was finished.
Satire …
Wandering through life calling for direction
Listening to my own voice with no time to hear
In my own way now I am a shining reflection
of what is wrong in this world influenced by peers
Keeping my eyes on my self-concerned opinions
A dragonfly is “evil” and a vulture “not” of God
Proclaiming my insight in search of dominion
of the thoughts of others or they like it or not
Floating with the scum, tossed about by waves
Calling it just cream on the top of my voice
My head barely above water with no one to save
Slurping up pollution making this my choice
Fading in the sunset shadows now are growing
Darkness at the window of my soul
It’d too late to turn in my desire knowing
that I only want to live to satisfy my role
Self satisfaction on my banner ponders
Soon it will be half-mast floating in the wind
Folks will say a good one has gone up yonder
but the verdict of the Just One may have a different tint
