I’m not lost

I’m just in the process of finding my way

At least that’s what my mind convinces me to say

Better days around the corner

The television conveys these things

Hoping I’ll open my mind

By opening this wallet

Scrambling for this fool’s gold

While we refuse to see the gold within our own souls

The impulsive choice is always being sold

This tradition has gotten so old

“Only 19.99 and we’ll add another for FREE…

But don’t forget shipping and handling

Extra costs you don’t need to know”

Our nation is wealthier today than before

But nowhere near happy

I wonder what they had that we don’t

They probably had the same problems that we do today

Except we have handheld screens in the way

What is used for good

Is used for evil too

All these things brand new

Don’t let the devil brand you

Confused of our purposes

Because our hope lies within a “thing”

Let’s refresh our thinking

And draw closer to what really matters

Families are shattered over “things”

Rebuilding each other is the first step

To the season of Spring
