Christ Alone

in #poetry10 years ago

  When you look around what do you think this world has come to? Does it seem unimportant because maybe it doesn’t affect you? We’ve become a place where laziness has completely taken over Turning Christmas into Xmas suddenly seems so kosher Let’s just take Christ out of everything, just omit his crucifixion If we take Christ out of Christmas, we might as well take Christ out of Christian This world can be so backwards. We give credit to what doesn’t deserve it, to what does we just degrade If you throw a football on a field, you’ll make more than if you throw a grenade. That man living on the street may be freezing most nights But, hey, as long as your duck-lip selfie reaches a 100 instagram likes Love has lost its meaning, its focus is now on convenience Where our boundaries used to be are now just lines of lenience. The covenant of marriage no longer means “till death do us part” More like “I’ll be with you until someone else tears us apart” Rather than replace the burnt out light bulb, we feel there’s nothing to prove Instead of repairing what’s broken, it’s easier just to move. We find every way to justify what’s wrong Worried more about pleasing this world, rather than whom we belong.  Our goals are driven by fortune, because money buys it all We don’t realize when we idolize it, we’re to blame when we fall Our search for happiness is always spent with our hands around a bottle And rather than talk about our problems, we resort to the Facebook novel. Being satisfied with who we are has never been so tough We alter ourselves artificially, when is enough going to be enough? There is no way this broken world will ever be fixed on our own The only way to save ourselves is Christ, and Christ alone.
