A Higher Force Demands
My life is ensconced
With the humdrum of each day.
To work, eat and recreate
Is my chosen way.
Money’s might molds my mentality.
Power’s pursuit my only reality
Then a greater force demands attention
And my priorities go askew.
Confusion and terror too much to mention
Now cloud my every point-of-view.
Life now seems much more precious.
Loved ones become my real wealth.
A fool I am to only know this
When a higher force demands my health.
