Bitter or Better

Bitter or Better

So near yet so far

One letter differing

Rogue or star

One letter difference

An “I” or an “E”

A life of improvement

Or one of misery

It’s the “I” in self

Or the “E” in HE

The “HE” being God

And self being “ME”

No “I” in self

I hear you are argue

But that’s all there is

Like the “U” in you

Bitter or Better

Is it God or self?

It’s like the exchange

Wealth for Health

One letter difference

Not an illusion

But like the Word says

A strong delusion

And for a moment

It may seem to work

But what a difference

Between

A smile and a smirk!

“Better” is God

And “Bitter” is self

Obsession with wealth

Will cost your health

So continue with self

If you like the “Bitter”

Or turn to God

He is infinitely “Better”
