What Does the Lord Expect

The appropriateness of our actions, the Lord

Expects from us to see


Not


The eloquence of our masterfully constructed

Verses, He to hear!

There are some poets who possess talent yet their arrogance outpaces their ability. I see no merit in what they have to say, for their work is a celebration of self and teqnique. What use is talent when there is no love? Actions truly do speak louder than words. You are a man of both heart and talent.
