People in charge, who own everything, have all they want, and lack all the basics.

Swingers, climbers, campers, hunters, lovers, moochers, and glamorous people.

Insiders, outsiders, high rollers, and flat brokers. Gamblers, bakers, and goat milkers.

All kinds of people, kind natured people, meaner than mean people, and people like you.

High fliers, kite fliers, ditch diggers and plumbers. Roofers, crooners, and head bangers.

Positive people, negative people, bipolar and schizo people, and where’d I put my meds?

All the same, one of a kind, why bother, look at me, and address me as sir kind of people.

People.

A world full of people.

Separated geographically, economically, racially, by language and by gender.

Loved by One God. Gathered at one cross. Offered one hope. Jesus!

“For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NLT)
