Modern Man

They say that, physical people
are meaty – and our smartest
are brainy – but the religious,
less Divine, for only one had
power over water into wine;

yet what we do in laboratories
now, has greatly complicated
our religious stories, when modern
man seems usurping many of
God's Glories...

So what can the inquisitive truly
surmise, if stars in the sky
are also in man's eyes?

Good Morning Joe - I found this entry to have much thought behind its message written with coherence for the reader to understand and take in the words to which are in poetic fashion. Further, this is one of those entries to be read out loud with emphasis and meaning. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy poetry soup.
