THE LIE THAT IS SUCCESS

What will you become?
Striving for success.
Like the ever passing moment success is fleeting.
What is easily attained can just as easily be lost.
Take and it shall be taken.
There's always a bigger fish in the ocean.
You will be devoured whole.
Here one moment, gone the next.
Never to be remembered.
All you reach for is just out of your reach.
What you look for is just a mirage.
All of your life is just an illusion.
You have been deceived.
You swallowed all your own lies.
Now they are eating at you from the inside out.
You are corroding.
Rotting and decaying.
And still believe you live the perfect life.
You still believe you are someone.
Someone important.
You have it all, all you have ever wanted.
Still you are looking.
Looking for what?
There is nothing there.
You are nowhere.
You have gone nowhere.
You see it all in your mind.
A broken and veiled reality.
Walking in a dense and grey fog.
You have wandered astray and don't even know.
You see what you want to see.
You are blind to everything.
Living in your own Tower of Babel.
You think you are a god.
Nothing can bring you down.
But as before your tower will crumble and fall.
You will return to where you came from.
Returning to the dirt of the ground.
You will become dust once again.
Forsaken.
Your arrogance makes you ignorant.
You will devour yourself.
You do not even realize what you have become.
You have become nothing.

  1. Well said. This is why it is so important to believe this, : 2Co_4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
