Between the Lines

22"For my people is foolish, they have not known me;"
A point that so many still miss, unable to see
"they are sottish children, and they have none understanding:"
As many so called great men are in for a very hard landing
"they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge."
Choosing it with there own freewill with not so much as a hedge

27"For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate;
 yet will I not make a full end."
Words that can so easily be read yet for many too hard to admit
Oh your ear why don't you lend

28 "For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black:"
Oh to thee do I warn in your fear of the Lord you should not lack
"because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent,
neither will I turn back from it."
Even you must admit in the understanding of each bit what He meant,
That it was on Him, that you quit!

Jeremiah 4: 22, 27, 28

To many this may seem grim. 
But that's the point, for many it is grim.

Sottish, basically means stupefied with, as with drink. Be not of this world, but many are stupefied by it's lure. Thus, their vision is impaired, nor do they care either. Sottish children.

What would be neat is if we had to poetically respond to the other poet's poem like I just did. What do you think?
