Spotlight

SPOTLIGHT

the media circus has begun
the grins bloviated like Seussical cats
i swear they are jumping up and down
exercising their cataracts and bulbs
they wouldn’t want to miss out
on one verbose moment

the unholy lack of humbleness
will trip a wire
fling the media into what they aspire

but God looks elsewhere for fame
remember the dame
who put her red cent
unseen
into the poor’s treasury

God shone a huge spotlight
where dust
prevailed

i bet that coin is in heaven’s museum
above the King’s throne
proud with buttons popping off
in a frame with the lady’s name

Every giving is good, but the same giving can result different fruits. Great spotlight, Kim.

"but God looks elsewhere for fame" - this is the turning point, that truly says what we know in our hearts, Kim.

Nicely put my friend. There is one above they cannot topple from the throne though it seems they won't stop trying.

So true! There will be a day that comes that will be so sad for many who thumbed their nose at the King of kings. We live here such a short time. What seems monumental today is nothing. Be blessed, dear friend! I can’t say how much I enjoy having you back on Poetry Soup!
