Losing Our Way
We’ve lost our ultimate purpose in a world obsessed with possessions.
I know people today are misguided.
I’m taking ancient wisdom we’ve been provided,
making the vision more than just improvising,
my ways based on the current ways of the world.
They say diamonds and pearls
how you climb in this world.
But I know it’s not true.
I’ve seen righteous impoverished
and the rich with no clue.
From a young age,
knew the balance was off.
Every talent revolved,
around validation from animals surrounding the trough.
Nourishment from a fixed perspective.
Grew up unknowingly misdirected.
Confidence only allowed if approved by the next pig.
Or the next kid.
Or the test kit.
They use to categorize whether you’re worth an investment.
We’re losing the art of the spirit,
letting only the flesh win.
Judging success and whether we’re near it,
by how much the flesh gets.
