A plate filled to the brim
Psalm 34:8 New English Translation (NET Bible)
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good!
How blessed is the one who takes shelter in Him!
I filled a plate with imaginary desires,
I just wanted to see who would gorge away.
Who would stuff themselves in a moment
and who would save some for a rainy day?
After some chewing and gorging
some truly thought it to be real.
Was it intended to be scorching
their simple souls through a fake appeal?
Who is it who is constantly feeding?
The masses who have lost their taste?
Is it the media and our leaders
or the greedy for gain in haste?
The deceit is here in quite a hurry
to flavor facts and marinate truth,
until the facts are quickly buried
in the human mind as one aloof.
