Deceptive Goals


Proverbs 23:5-7

You set your eyes upon that, which is not,
Reaching out in greed is what you sought;
For riches certainly in making your wings,
To fly as an eagle toward heavenly things;
Eat not the bread of him with an evil eye,
Neither want meat from this deceitful guy;
As he thinks in his heart the same of him,
He says to eat but thoughts of an antonym.
A book by its cover for you can not judge,
Perfected shells do hide the inner smudge;
A wolf in sheep's clothing is their style,
Able to cut your throat while with a smile;
A tendency to set goals being out of sight,
Can make your life stressful and uptight;
Anyone that might be standing in the way,
Will find themselves to be just open prey;
Consider others before reaching too high,
The wings you make may not let you fly;
Looking onto God as you set your dream,
Ensuring your idea matches His scheme.
