ELITE
Is there a secret desire
in all of us to be elite?
Not in everything – but in something –
or in at least one thing.
I know how to dress just right
and you have no clue.
I know wines and after dinner
drinks – and you know nothing.
I’m good in cards or ping pong or
Shanghai rummy – and you’re not.
“Thank God I’m not like the rest –
greedy – grasping – so, so selfish ….”*
Do we have these desires because
we actually feel inferior to so and so?
Is the secret to be able to laugh at
ourselves especially when our egg cracks?
Is the secret what Jesus said, “Whoever
humbles him or herself will be exalted?
Why is it that we want to be seen
As Number 1 – at table or at church?
