Bondage
Galatians 5:1
Christian Liberty
5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
Bondage
Give me life and liberty ... this is a free country.
Line up all the victims ... glued to the TV.
Cut the arteries of bondage ... the lifeline of the bounty
that awaits the addicted ... who call themselves free.
The great escape from reality ... to get far away from self.
Move into a dimension ... fully designed in the world.
Never more to mention ... that purpose can’t tell
the difference in “life” and existing ... as they together swirl.
Black and white are spinning ... into shades of the color grey.
Truth becomes a broken thought ... in the middle of the road.
Action replaces reasoning ... a place where none want to pay
as indifference expands and builds ... and insensitivity grows.
The norm of thoughts and feelings ... become shifting sand.
Stability now just a memory ... far removed from civilization.
A world that now hungers ... for a filled helping hand
that is attached to a body ... lost in its own frustration.
Answers blowing in the wind ... wrapped in shady doctrine
Everyone wants to believe ... with self in the center
Dying to self an art form ... like a well designed machine
that can be turned off and on ... as one wants to mentor.
Word and deed at war ... the last seems the looser.
The way to hell as always ... paved with good intentions.
Being fully “free” ... in the jails of our own choosing
and in such trying to live ... the way to Salvation?
