IDOLS

I wanted to be one of them

To devour and ingest

Then I could once be full and well and find a place to rest

Their beauty and image is what I yearned

I sought it day by day

And in my mind it never stopped unless I stopped to pray

For my hunger never filled,my envy never slept

And in the corners of myself I often sat and wept

Then I sought his presence

He showed me who I am

This mighty God of jealousy

Who once became a lamb

Rhett Barbaree
