250225 The Victim Card

 The Victim Card

For some, it isn't very hard

To choose to play the victim card

Thus, state your actions aren't your fault

A game that surely can be taught

To claim in life that you've been cheated

A product of how you've been treated

Absolving responsibility 

Eliciting our sympathy 

Of course, there is true victimhood 

For in this world not all are good

And people do horrific things

Thus, pain and suffering it brings

Yet, staying in a victim state

Need not become a victim's fate

If in the corner, you still cower

You've given up all of your power

What 'bout those who lob victim bombs

Igniting fires like napalm

Creating a whole victim class

Then shouting grievances en masse

True victims in life do abound

And you can find them all around

But, if you choose to think that way

Then, as a victim, you will stay

All of us could claim victimhood 

But does that really mean we should 

For if we stay within that space

A brighter future, never face

Let's throw away the victim card

Believe me, I know it is hard

Dismiss victim mentality

Instead, live life of victory

Pray for discernment, so to see

True victims in society

Then go through life doing your best

To love others; release the rest

And in so doing, trust the Lord

To even any unfair score

Then, put your faith and hope in Him

Thus, be a victor, not victim
