Peacocks Today Feather Dusters Tomorrow Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Peacocks Today Feather Dusters Tomorrow

Rating: 5.0


They are very important today
They have distinguished titles today
They are very proud of what they are
They are very proud of who they are
They are self important
They are peacocks today
They will be feather dusters tomorrow.

The mighty fall
Things fall apart
What goes up must come down
What goes around comes around
Earthly riches are temporary
Earthly titles are temporary
What is permanent is neglected
The inner man who shall live in eternity is starved
The flesh which decays is fed
They are carnal
They are not spiritual
Heavenly pursuits are disregarded
Peacocks today and feather dusters tomorrow.

There are to many turkeys today behind the pulpit and leadership positions. Soon God will pluck their tail feathers and they will be like the ostrich, hiding their hands in the sand. Sound truth. Thank you friend. 10
