FAME GAME<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

04-17-2014<\/p>\n

In our fallen world, everywhere it’s the same,
\nPeople so obsessed, with trying to make a name.
\nBut how some go about it, is really a shame,
\nPower sex and money, are tools in their game.
\nClimbing over others, to grasp elusive fame,
\nNo one is concerned, no one takes the blame.<\/p>\n

In a crazy struggle, striving for their goal,
\nCaring for their body, but denying their soul.
\nBut alas such madness, will surely take a toll,
\nSome die in the process, and end up in a hole.
\nForget their foolish game, let go of the pole,
\nBetter turn to Jesus, let Him make you whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
