Storage

After Luke 12:13-21

We pack it all in

our basements, or attics,

our storage lockers, our storage pods,

our garages, our closets,

our warehouses, our second

and third houses,

we pack it all in and 

soon realize it’s not enough,

we don’t have enough

for our comfort, our safety,

our security, our peace of mind,

our station, our position,

the reason doesn’t matter

but we need more

so we get more and find

new ways and new places 

to pack it all in. so it’s there,

ready and accessible, our comfort

until we realize we need more

until our life is demanded of us

and they say in remembrance

that he with the most stuff

loses.
