Some people get rich
by creating chaos in the world
and find themselves forever chasing peace
only to realize that their lives have slipped through their fingers
and they still haven’t found anything worth living for
other people talk about all the trouble in the world
debating all the different ways to take action
and find that talking is like any other form of intoxication
it makes a person feel really good about going nowhere and accomplishing nothing
still others look for meaning in performance
of boldly proclaiming the words of someone who said
go into the world
to a congregation that prefers to remain seated
yet there are still few people willing to use what little they have
to share hope with the troubled of the world
and learn about the blessing
that they can only receive by being a blessing
