What Matters?

It really matters if you appear

On the front cover of a popular magazine

You become the face of the day

And everyone shines grace unto you

It really matters if you serve in church

Your dress of the outerworld make you glimmer

And baffles many, they want to be like you

They also yearn to serve

But inside, are you what they see?

The eloquent and elegant pure being?

It really matters if you are highlighted on Tv

And your success story runs for days

And people will change their view of you

And people will drop their titles of you

It really matters if you have a following

On your social platform

Because you have a say

And numbers count, souls don’t

It really matters if you get those likes

And those comments of praise

It really matters when people recognize you

As that singer, that celebrity or writer

And in yourself you become a god

A deity where those who look upto you

Divert their attention from Him to you

A finite, relative creature that rots in evil

Should it really matter?

When blogs and billboards praise you?

Which book do you want your name in?

The Nobel, the Guiness, the Hall of Fame

Or the book of life?
