Why I Chose Belief Over Self

J justice in this world is being stolen
E every nation, lawful & not, sees corruption
S something inside of me sought a mainstay
U unknown to my late light, Spirit saved me anyway 
S Someone like Parent is preferred to orphan option

NOTE: I told myself in my teens, if trusting a God gave me peace & less fear of death ..
 My clinging to my brain based self, or "intellectual integrity" would not be celebrated after I die!

The world is rampant in corruption and injustice. Not to flow with the current, we need saving grace and need to place faith over self ! Well said, Anil brother

Trusting in self is foolish. Only Jesus saves - He is the Prince of Peace and He is the wisdom of God. I enjoyed your poem! Blessings, Kim M
