Lost In Pursuit
In the pursuit of money,
the wealth in life was lost;
In the pursuit of sex,
the beauty in love was lost.
In the pursuit of Heaven,
the moral of His story was lost.
In the pursuit of power,
the equality of man was lost.
In the pursuit of justice,
the ability to forgive was lost.
In the pursuit of security,
the freedom to roam was lost.
In the pursuit of truth,
the wonder of it all was lost.
In the pursuit of selfish ends,
Our souls have paid the cost.
