Idols

After Isaiah 44:13-17

My idol is my work

my object of worship

is my home, the idol

of my heart is possessions,

bank account, reputation,

image, respectability and

influence, power and safety

my idol is what

I surround myself with

the coins I place in my purse

the gems I hoard

the land I defend

the entertainment I crave

the art I bow down to

they are my idols, my gods,

my protection and salvation

my idols are myself
