What Shall I Be?

Shall I be an artist
Like Vincent and Vachel
Embracing life
Till smother it?

Shall I be a star
Like Lonnie and Liz
Caressing man after man
As if hugging smoke?

Shall I be a tycoon
Like J.P. and Jay
Fighting over money
As if it brought peace?

No! I shall be a Christian
Like Peter and Paul
Content with my lot
To each tittle and jot.
