Starved Souls

I looked in the mirror And my soul was stirring back at me It looked distorted because I didn't feed it It said to me "Why didn't you feed me? And I said "What do you mean? It repeated itself "Why didn't you feed me? "Feed you" I said, I feed you everyday" "I'm not talking about carnal food" "I'm talking about about spiritual food" "What is spiritual food?" I Replied "The word, The word," my soul said "what word" I asked "Don't you know?" asked my soul "I don't know what you're talking about," I said "The word of truth," my soul replied "Of what truth," I asked "The word of God" my soul replied Oh!, that," I said "I'm so sorry, I didn't know" "Read Matthew John 16" said my soul "Give yourself over to the word And you'll find life eternally And I will no longer look destorted and messed up" "Alright, I'll do that," I said to myself And for that whole day my heart pondered And I wondered about my life So I listened to my soul And my life haven't been the same since
