Now

 

I was once naïve.

I too thought the world was flat,

That all there was, was America.

She dominated my imagination from my youth.

Her stories of discovery, building new frontiers,

Conquerors, and great generals

Dazzled my mind.

I too was once naïve.

I believed this too was my home

Where I could roam,

Build, plant, any purse my every happiness.

I was once naïve.

But now my eyes were opened,

And now I know.

Oh, how the blue pill could have been my dream,

But I chose the red pill,

And the Metrix was exposed-

And now I see.

My blindness is gone.

The more I learned the more my sorrow increased.

Yet, I had hope, because He that opened my eyes had

Overcome the world.

And now, I too am an Overcomer.

John 16:33
