Once Again

Once again, My Lord,
Towards Thy Wisdom I turn 
For
An answer to find

Why the many, instead of seeking
Thy eternal Bliss
 
Chose

With the pleasures of phenomena 
To bind?

This poem is very thought provoking. I wonder if the pleasures of phenomena are earthly pleasures or alluding to scientists studying outer space phenomena? In any case this was well put together. I see your name a lot on this site and this is my first time reading your poetry.

Demetrios, This Epigram is done extraordinarily well as usual my good friend!! A most entrancing question indeed to the Almighty. I thinks Eileen's answer in her response below hits the mark in addressing Man's sin predicament. A "7" and this one's a FAV!! Cheers and Spill Ink!! Gary
