Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Too Blind To See

Isaac was blind
  He couldn't see
That Jacob, not Esau
  His blessing received

Esau had sold his birthright
  For a bowl of bean soup
Some might consider him
  An utter nincompoop

But when you are hungry
  You're too blind to see
That your actions right now
  May affect Eternity

Sandra Adams November 21, 2020 at 8:30 AM Great write... it can be taken many ways, we are often too blind to see that our actions could last an eternity when we are driven by the hunger... :) hugs Gershon Wolf November 21, 2020 at 5:53 PM Thanks, Sandra... and very nice to see your avatar again.

Caren Krutsinger November 20, 2020 at 5:34 PM A particularly well-thought-out Biblical tale, in modern terms. Sweet! Gershon Wolf November 21, 2020 at 5:44 PM Thank you for the encouragement on this one, Caren. Hope all is well. :) Gershon

Alexis Y. November 20, 2020 at 2:08 PM Hi Gershon, I agree. That hunger can be a physical one or none physical. However, such blindness can hurt for all eternity- Alexis Gershon Wolf November 21, 2020 at 5:34 PM Thank you for your comment, Alexis. Happy weekend, Gershon
