'Self Proclaiming World' Poem by Linda Winchell

We seem to be living… in a self proclaiming world
With our personal agenda...“Face Book”… twitterings’ and all.
Showing the world all of just who we are
“Look at me! ”
“I am the greatest of them all! ”

Self indulging…self proclaiming
Selfish… natured human beings.
Nothing witnessed…and much of nothing gathered
Of the Lord if any…. is what it seems.

Fast fixes… for un-addressed long term problems
Like the addict… hiding on some darkened street.
Children left alone to defend for themselves
Much of which… alone in life there can only come defeat.

Parents off working for their own financial gains
But what is it… that they will in the long run come to lose?
Self proclaiming… they made it to the mountain top
Is this what…we are willing to choose?

Take down those signs… of self righteousness’
Throw away your self photos…hanging on the wall.
For nothing matters…but God Himself
For in the end… you will come to lose it all!
