Lovers of Bread

Lovers of Bread (Behind the song)

The decade of the 1970 s left us with some beautiful and unforgettable music but also left us with the beginnings of some horrible crimes. A child murdered in the schoolyard only to be increased many times over with massive school shootings carried out to this day in June of in 2025. A shocking kidnaping of a young girl who was branded and sold like a farm animal   in what became known as human trafficking. Today these things are rampant and unfortunately have become a part of a society hard to bring under control. The world is filled with good people that are shocked by the tendencies that surround us, the tendencies of those who are lovers of bread. Bread a term used to refer to monetary assets takes on a broader meaning in the song focusing on whatever brings benefit and satisfaction to the self-centered at whatever cost to the innocent. Sadly we can’t help but see the horrible exploitation that surrounds us. The song ‘Lovers of Bread’ states ,’ WILDER DAYS ARE COMING , THE GOLDEN DAYS ARE GONE’, just as  2 Timothy 3:13 warns, “But wicked men and impostors will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being misled.” As each decade passes badness takes on an identity with greater malice. And usually at the center are the Lovers of Bread who have no concern about who gets hurt, who looses and who dies! Do we have more and more decades going  in this trajectory?  NO!  Psalm 92:7 promises, “When the wicked sprout like weeds And all the wrongdoers flourish, It is that they may be annihilated forever.” Then there is hope that all this will end to the degree as stated in Psalm 37:10,11,28,29 “  Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there.11 But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace…… But the descendants of the wicked will be done away with.29 The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it”.  These are the thoughts involved in the song ‘Lovers of Bread’.
