"Family" Issues in our world


1 Peter 2:17 New English Translation (NET Bible)

17 Honor all people, love the family of believers, fear God, and honor the king.

 

Human "Family" issues

 

Disappointments come and go as “Life” follows directions

The provided roadmap seems neglected or very oft-ignored

Ill-chosen priorities often make us wander in perplex-ion

Towards ways of loneliness and relatively close to bored

 

“Give me life and liberty,” shackle us into selfishness

Dreams towards nightmares designed completely by self

Motivate the troop together in one’s selected only-ness

Under the slogan: “all for one,” as long as I am in "tell."

 

Once we are united, its foundation is mostly talk

History repeats itself like hopping on the moon

Stability is now lost as we are learning to walk

Straight into togetherness in a hot-air balloon

 

Choices that so made in self-appointed wishes

Maybe all together, some things are working out

And if it does not work, we’ll send home some kisses

Swirling/tossing in white for that’s what it’s all about
