A dream that lingers on


John 12:25 New English Translation (NET Bible)

25 The one who loves his life destroys it, and the one who hates his life in this world guards it for eternal life.

 

 

World-class

 

To be world-class with the half-committed

is a dream that lingers on.

Kept alive by the selfish pitted

against the trend that searches wrong.

 

To change a man without the system

could result in where we need to be.

But who will change the helpless critters

from their nature and set them free?
