Baggage Or Luggage

I
We know Psych 101
Thanks Oprah; Phils of many a hue
But our baggage becomes luggage

II
We say the right words (mostly for image)
The hard work of transformation (even Romans 12: 1-2) stops
Each time we have a nice day, or a nice "friend"

(III. Take baggage, luggage, guilt ...
To the Cross where Jesus paid it all
Leave it there; don't pick it upon leaving)

Action not word's for image sake. My gratitude and thanks indeed for reading my Surreal Star's Viseral Dreams poem Sir And then for you to tell me you are from Fort Beaufort only made it that much better. After reading your work I'm more interested and at the same time both confused you seem more complex than I am. Your name is Anil you say Shalom and write about Jesus and Christianity All I know is you are good spirit and kind heart

My dream Anil is to 1 day hopefully return pitch a tent and sit under an African sky look upon the stars realizing just how insignificant baggage and luggage truly is. I've reached the destination of my journey
