Free ... some or little


1 Corinthians 7:32-33 

32 And I want you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the things of the world, how to please his wife …

 

Free-some        Satire

 

Freely I stand before you with my shackled feet

Words I’ll speak have been programmed in my mind

In whatever I do ... please listen to my pleas

I am a lonely freak ... yes one of every kind

 

Once I was like you but fell by the wayside

I saw clearly then through my blinded mind

Now I search for truth in my love for a free ride

Still I have to pay dearly in pain and despise

 

You want me to change and be again like you

from where I tried so hard to escape in the past

How can I rearrange the things I’ve learned to do

as I became a part of the things that won’t last?
