Discarded
Proverbs 20:27
27 The spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching all the inner depths of his heart.
I try to understand you ... discarded on the side
A faded page from an old book hidden in an attic
Forgotten long ago ignored by a previous generation
And now debated as evidence by the smart and the hectic
We have come a long way in depravity’s downward spiral
We pick up speed constantly in our selfish appetite
We justify about everything kneeling at the idol of comfort
and judge the disagreeing: brown, yellow, black and white
We used to walk hand in hand, but now we’re all grown up
Myself a good example of a self-made bowl of jelly
I believe about everything and drink out of every cup
that is put before me to satisfy my swollen belly
Let all self destruct and let the Lord sort it out
This seems the new gospel carved in stony hearts
Me, mine and ours is that what this is all about
Everyone for himself and God for all till we part
