It may become the most valued in all the land! ‘
Many years ago they had chosen sides.
Those that appeared to have nothing,
Were taunted!
Those who worshipped things…
Of course,
Were not!
They were social darlings.
And accepted brighter than stars!
But the land could not feed,
All of those who kept feeding their greed.
And for generations…
They let the needy bleed!
They laughed at the homeless.
Joked of those who found refuge on the streets.
But the land could not feed,
All of those who kept feeding their greed.
Warnings from those observing,
Were dismissed and at best, ignored!
If fact they were declared to be insane…
And defamed and slandered,
Became for some to do to them as a chore!
And the signs of the times began to creep,
Upon the shores.
And this had never been seen before.
Many became frightened.
Decisions were made to close their doors!
An epidemic soon spread.
And those of suburban dreams…
Found themselves foreclosure whores!
Those with their BA’s, MA’s and PHd’s…
Wide screen TV’s and DVD’s
Were lining up at pawn shops!
Sneaking to protect pretentions they could not stop!
Those of jewels and gold gems…
Sought to find shelter,
With lost relatives and fake friends!
But wait…
‘That tattered coat you have worn?
Don’t throw it away, ever! Don’t think it!
It may become the most valued in all the land! ‘
You, the abused…
The downtrodden and counted out!
You, the one ignored and talked about!
You, the slandered and defamed to shame.
You who kept your dignity and identity that remained…
Ultimately wins the prize!
In God’s eyes.
