Name calling
Ecclesiastes 3:6
6 A time to search, and a time to give something up as lost;
a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
Name calling
Yesterday I wandered … today I am lost
I only wanted to see the attractive
Now I am left to ponder … cannot pay the cost
no one to help me interactive
Yesterday seemed sensible … today only confusion
always find myself far from call
I name it crucial … in my own delusion
to escape from the uncomfortable after all
Who will pay the price for the choices I make?
I haven’t got a penny to my name.
Why do I despise and label others for my sake
unworthy and hypocritical in my shame?
Jan Wienen
