Full of it
Proverbs 20:17 New English Translation (NET Bible)
17 Bread gained by deceit tastes sweet to a person,
but afterward his mouth will be filled with gravel.
Fill me up with anything I want to be full for tomorrow
Don’t tell me it never comes for that I surely won’t grasp
You can tell me about everything about grief and sorrow
For all, of course, will be done and to me, that’s all of that
Carry me to a bridge to walk across the emptiness
That is hidden deep below the surface of my heart
Appearing to others to be rich in accumulated onlyness
As always in the know, I seem to be set by myself apart
If I had a bungee-cord would I dare to jump?
Do I have a hunger to see what is deeply below?
Would I be in one accord bypassing every bump?
Could I be free in bypassing life without trying to crow?
Jan Wienen
