Plum Seed

need to put myself down
let me walk on my own
let Jesus walk with me
walk me to the well of life

tired of being sick
point the finger, the stick
at who in society is
without a doubt sick

most of us are as sick spiritually
however much we cover illnesses up
with suits, affluence
with what money can buy
with drugs prescribed
or gotten otherwise

sick of, sick from, making the wrong choices

so much of what I put in my mouth
in my mind, in my senses
is poisoning me, is polluting the air
poisoning the river in me

how does one seek the kingdom first
seek it always

how does one just let all else be added
like one lets rain or snow fall
