we forfeit our future


we forfeit our future
choosing poorly in life
the things of the flesh
the things of the dust
we trade our days
we ransom our futures
the seconds we have been given
that God has gifted to us;
we trade away our days
we are beholden, servants
of someone, of something
of the earth, of the dust.

we forfeit our future
choosing poorly in life
we trade our days
for things of the flesh
we ransom our futures
to someone, to something
when we should cleave to,
to hold onto to God,
to the eternal;
we trade away our days
for things of the flesh
of the earth, of the dust.
