First World Problems

If ignorance is innocence than I'd rather just know it all.

I’d prefer be a mess than to believe this problem’s minimal.

Pristine, overrated, self-serving, overcomplicated

This hyped up American dream isn’t worth the price

When you realize your materialism is at the cost of a life.

Your comfortable, easy, happy go lucky reality

Is forever perpetuating this first world problem mentality.

Open your eyes and see the pain all around you.

See men, women, children on the ground just hunting for food.

We buy meaningless cars, unending riches and

forget to even look at people sleeping in the ditches.

Since when did a church become a place of complacency?

Of telling us what we want to know, avoiding what we don’t care to see?

Well “love thy neighbor as thy self”

Should be heard as less of a suggestion and more a cry for help.

Your purpose isn’t comfort but to bring love to the nations!

Don’t compromise your calling due to selfish motivations.

When politics corrode the generosity in your soul

You’ve got more issues than your debt, you’re about to lose control

Of the things that truly matter, the ones that mean much more

Like peace, love, generosity, those ones you can’t ignore.

Jesus even said if you don’t act out love, your faith is dead,

And it’s tough to share His love when you’re lying comfortably in bed.

So get up, get out, and look outside your own front door.

Allow your eyes to opened and you’ll see more than ever before.
