SEEDS AMONG THORNS

Jacqueline McCray

Thorns sprang from cursed soil to choke your Word.

My flesh travels in a convoy of lies

Blinded by riches of my own franchise.

Consumerism drew me from what was heard

Substituting Holy Truths with absurd.

Seeds were planted to delight many eyes

Instead deceitful desires got allies.

To stop your dear Word from being anchored.


The way to crawl back to that quiet place

Is to turn my mind from temporal things

My heart will be near the Glory of God

By casting out items that take much space.

Fancy cars, spacious homes, and golden rings

Will not prevent me from his Holy Rod.
