Clodhoppers and sodbusters

Creeping across the plains,

Finding their own domain,

Wanderlust finally waned,

Settled.

Thrill seekers and risk takers

Pushing the envelope

Racing up the slope

Until they couldn’t cope

Settled.

Mate seekers and date seekers

Combing the internet

Deciding to hedge their bets

Tired of not finding yet

Settled.

Politicos and Pac Men

Always testing the wind

Always prepared to bend

Whatever it takes to win

Settled.

Lawyers and Litigants

Suing to get their way

Heedless of what they pay

Until the judgment day

Settled.

Sports stars and movie stars

Shining in media’s light

Getting their image right

Stylin’ both day and night

Settled.

Teachers and preachers

Thinking they know it all

Ignoring verity’s call

Pushed up against the wall

Settled.

Pastors and ministers

Envisioning great success

Placing themselves under stress

Never confront or confess

Settled.

‘Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.’
