Brave New World

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

- (Colossians 3:2 ESV)


In the age of storage wars, cupcake shows

And movies about parking lots

Our longing for the ultimate entertainment experience

Has left us searching the bottom of the cereal box

For a prize that doesn’t seem exist…

So now, we’re being led to believe that the very notion

Of something other than our present reality is a myth

Score one for boredom in the win column

Because this Brave New World experiment

Has left us empty and solemn

With a penchant for comedy

And a love for treasure-seeking

Only to find that here, the moths and rust destroy it

So we inevitably end up with neither

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”

- (Matthew 6:19-23 ESV)

Soli Deo Gloria,
