God's Work
Why does the world look at God's Work with insolence
To be done cheaply and weakly and never to achieve excellence
While investing its great minds in humanistic intelligence
Depriving many and making premium of God's providence
That their opulence may create in them obvious prominence
That in the sphere of notoriety they may gain eminence
The mockery increases and thus far hasn't subsided
Wolves jeering the Shepherd with whom the sheep have sided
Of forgetting faith the faithful are constantly reminded
Being questioned of the dividend for the years they abided
While the world flaunts arguments for their discoveries
They deem the world too tertiary for Faith's elementaries
Those who offer themselves are seen as of little worth
Too feeble to face reality and too quick to face North
And it's no place for perceived intellect and nobility
For it calls not for their elsewhere sought after ability
But those very people and things they despise
Are they that God uses to confound the worldly wise
The esteem you doubt when God keeps an open door
The dignity shed when faithfuls kneel and lie on the floor
They shall receive a hundred times more in this life and in the next
Lands, property and kindred even as is in the Text
Haven't we seen all these in this land of the living
Except that we are so prone to forgetting?
K. Muitherero.
