Double duty

Philippians 2:3Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit,but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Double

 

 

Double duty is the call ... for single minded man on the fly

Reach on high for self-esteem ... or you’re hung out to dry.

 

If you care and look around ... you see many hanging there

clinging in desperation ... lost in their own atmosphere.

 

Most men are buried in the church in search for a comfort zone

where comfy rules day to day ... and the circle ever grows.

 

Adding them who love their lives ... and the prosperity it brings

justified by each and every one ... even more by self within

 

Roaming around in blindness ... calling folks to follow their path

are they already in the ditch ... is that a matter of fact?

 

How to define a ditch ... if that is the “way” home for some?

I guess they’ll find it at the end ... where it drains into a pond.
