Rejected

Rejected by family and friends
And selfishness which never ends
Even in church I thought I'd find
True friendship as God has designed

I found friends and a Judas too
A slanderer in the church pew
And others striving for power
In their own ivory tower

Some with their own theology
Claiming it's all mythology
But Jesus warned it would be so
A mix of wheat and tares, you know

So, life seems to be a battle
Many foes their sabers rattle
It's a fight to the very end
In the end we'll all comprehend
