where?

Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him.  So Jesus asked the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?"  Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life.  We have come to believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."   John 6:66-69

we could head
         down to Money Street,
   joining
            all the others in that
            chase to gain
      more and more, only
         to have it slip
         through our lives like
                         sand;

we could follow
           the latest supercelebelete
   on every social media
                  at our disposal,
      only to discover
      that they are so focused
            on themselves, they
            would never be able
         to pick us out of a
                       crowd;

we could attend every
                        rally
               of our party,
   waving our signs,
       bumpersticking our cars,
           throwing our moeny
           into their pockets,
   and watch the plastic-smiled
               politicos
       rush to their private jets
                  for a golf match;

            or

we could go to
poor,
   simple,
      accepting
      unconditionally,
         loving
            eternal

you.
