Worthless


1 Corinthians 3:13 

13 But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value.

 

Worthless

 

Let it fly and set it free

Let it escape from you and me

It is not worth the keeping

 

Make it smile all the while

This a quantity filled with guile

That makes so many a weeping

 

Today seems good well understood

Soothing about just every mood

Mostly those who’re a sleeping

 

Long way home me all alone

Sounding like a megaphone

Like an alarm that’s beeping

 

The internet makes one sweat

Caught in a closing net

Privacy is gone a creeping

 

Eyes now closed slowly overdosed

Becoming now like a ghost

From myself a fleeing
