We Wise Fools

26 aug 2014 7:48 PM

I would like to say something wise
something to put a sparkle in your eyes

But my wisdom is but a spark
A floating ember in the endless dark

Mans wisdom centers around himself
Of what he finds then stores on his shelf

What we think we know so well
Is only fodder for the flames of hell

We thump our brains and thumb our nose
We know everything from hair to toes

We've traveled over the whole wide world
To the moon and back now mars is our girl

We know it all who needs God
This is not his world it is our sod

We are gods we make the rules
We are the kings of fools

God made the universe
And here we stand the maker we curse

Mark our time for it will soon end
God is coming back for those He calls friend

The product is never greater than its creator
The trash will be thrown into the incinerator

Thank you Linda I am sure He will. All who call on the name of Christ and repent will be forgiven not just for the the past but the future too. God bless my friend
