Concern for Fame
Concern for fame?
Sounds kind o’ lame
Given all that shame
We all have in our sin,
But I give it a think
Even if I end in a stink.
Not the undefeated state champ or
Outstanding wrestler of the County;
Not for takin’ Kathie Lee to the prom;
Nor the siring of 11 model citizens.
Not even for marrying Rockmont’s hottest
(Can’t say “Jayne.” She’s too modest).
It’s that poetry that makes the fame!
Oh it’ll win some acclaim!
Got the message if not the right rhyme
Preachin’ that truth most sublime
About that One who rose from death
Givin’ us hope at that final breath.
‘Tis good to tickle ears with truth!
A meal for a fellow to bite with that tooth,
Diggin’ down into that tasty meat
After graduatin’ from the teat.
Got to go from milk to real food,
Like a hungry cowboy, not some dude.
You get a lot o’ holy vigor
As your love for justice grows bigger.
