The Foolishness of Man

Many assert “there is no God,”
to escape obeying His Word.
Wanting to avoid God’s control,
They place their ego in the role.

Flaunting the authority of God,
they become victims of Satan’s fraud,
living their lives chasing rabbits,
and get trapped by slavish habits.

Instead of enjoying freedom,
reality feels like a prison.
Ridding themselves of the Divine Czar
leaves men to wonder who they are.

Rejecting God’s authority
leads to a place called Anarchy.
Extolling the goddess of reason 
men boldly commit Divine treason.

Men who without God seek happiness,
instead, get feelings of crappiness.
Considering themselves to be wise,
their folly in reason’s face flies.

Man’s foolishness is plain to see,
In widespread societal anarchy.
To think of life without his God
should show man that his mind is flawed.
