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
