Home Rule

Until science can decipher our past 
almost blind to reality in home truths 
they are no more knowledgeable than the rest of us 
as each of us walks a different path of knowledge

 I find truth in the words of God 
more powerful and with great conviction of meaning 
than anything science has to offer 
Call a spade a spade 
proven wrong time and time again
results speak for themselves
we are all seeds of his olive branch 
inner peace filled with faith and love 
is the only science without appetite for destruction

A powerful piece indeed. There's certainly a discrepancy between the words of God and the words of Man. Quote song lyrics "God writes straight with crooked lines He takes the mess we make in life He turns our groaning into perfect rhyme Hidden by the veil of time, The Wisdom of His love's design" Song by Corrinne May.

Perhaps God writes straight with crooked lines... and life is a winding road for some people...
