A losers reflection'

In the world of control..The scheme goes like
This..theres always a 'HIGHLIGHT' on what 
You might miss? What might be taken.? What
You can save.? In 2020 the theme was really
Hard played.' You might loose your life? Or
Your standing with friends.' It was first to the
Lifeboats ' Do you remember 'the trends?' 
What might you loose? Well some took a
Chance.' First we lost all the shallow folk yet
Others stood fast.' We lost out on the loans
That must be paid back.' On the various poisons, yet have no sense of a lack.' We lost
Fear of some un-known; and invisible things?
Some accepted Jesus, and lost all the old sin,
Death got lost also.' And looking around! Considering  all
Of the loosing, I'm amazed at what was found.!!

definitely too much focus on losing and not enough. In so doing, that becomes a reality. The endless fear of the unknown seems pervasive. What happened to faith and the belief that God will provide enough????

Its always there in different Generations Sara I suppose We as humans are prone to Doubt that allows the process To begin.' Yet all is to be lost Of the world from our birth.. Which points me to what has Eternal gain.' God alone.)
