Amos 6:1, 4-7; Psalm 146: 7-10; Timothy 6:11-16; Luke 16: 19-31

seeking
our own comfort
above all
leaves us blind
to the cries
of the sufferings
of the poor
even as we are never
satisfied –
are we too
beggars of life
as our minds
are clouded
by delusion
searching for meaning
and truth
in all the wrong places

What angel will carry us to freedom?
What word will bring us truth?
