Screaming In bright lights, bold colors Driving by billboards, TV, magazines The Lies For young children to see That distorts the meaning of value and beauty That it’s all about The wheel at your hands The house at your feet Your Skin White as bones, overexposed Whose name is wrapping your Stick, sick Flesh
It’s all about Me In this consumerism
To believe these deceptions Is to Deny and shun What He has said, What He has done And to accept these distortions Is to Push Glory’s embrace and Spit at Beauty’s face For the way of the world Is a blind subversion Against The Holy Holy Holy God
‘Cause He said He bought you with a price His beloved Son, Jesus Christ No need to chase this and that Turn back He has been chasing after you That is fact Are you lost? Are you broken? Well in Him you are loved Not just accepted, Chosen He is Father. And from enemy you became His son, His daughter Can the world just please know that They are Children, royal heirs Not tools Not meat Not slaves To tree fibers flattened together To the ogling eyes of men Just as ***** and blind as theirs
It’s an honor that this We Christians know In the world we are tasked The Truth we must show So do not conform To these unattainable norms Take heart Set yourself apart For tomorrow is the due The Lord will do amazing things among you
Remember: One coin is one vote For the kind of world we want to see For the kind of world we want to be Ponder That those trash are only made and sold Because people lust over those worldly strongholds So, make certain That the things that you buy That the votes that you cast are for Modesty, security, purity, God’s name, God’s glory. The icons, the trends we Have been following, It’s time to start leading
Do not falter This generation we can alter No need to be economists, politicians, or preachers Just as Christian consumers We have the power Those are not mere dull coins or crumpled bills in your hands You know what it is? **That is the future
This is a spoken word poem that we had to do for an English project.
