Kim Van Breda Poet Free verse

Untilled Ground

UNTILLED GROUND

untilled ground however rich
produces only prickly thorns
like the minds of simple men
never giving thought to their
steps

rash behaviour hasty choices
acting whims without restraint
going with the currents flow
that seems appealing at first
glance

tossed around on waves of
passing tides and ideologies
easily deceived they believe
in questionable doctrines
lies

we need to change thought patterns
God’s promises directing our steps 
a fundamental change within
not just act the part we should
believe

discipleship begins within
not by a quick magic trick
requiring training to correct
our faulty thinking and be
aware
