I Wonder As I Wander… poetic musings by C C Keaton
I wonder as I wander
Down endless thoughts I ponder
And so…
I’d like to lend a thought to your ear
Perhaps self-preservation’s not why we’re here
Becoz we all have something to say
But our pride or fears get in the way
Science can discover and uncover all states of matter
but it can’t manufacture nor destroy even the most minuscule of that mysterious batter
Philosophy doesn’t answer why or what for, just brings us to question even more
Religious separations lead us to divisively tear one another apart
All in the name of God, but at the expense of our own hearts
I’d like to lend a thought to your ear
Will you listen and not just hear?
Perhaps, we’re not supposed to be center stage
Or enslaved in a powerful other’s cage
Or subject to uncontrollable rage
Perhaps, we’re not meant to live consumer lives
Being bought, traded or sold
Aimlessly chewing on each others souls
I wonder what it might look like if we put others before our own delights
Letting go of past hurts
Or needing to be first
Spending less time on me
And most of time’s precious commodity
On being better we
I have noticed in most cases to be
When I look after others
God takes extra good care of me
And the fruit of His goodness
Begins to grow in fullness
For our good and His glory!
