Mister Worldly Wise

     Mister Worldly Wise

God says He’ll open children’s eyes

Knowledge, by grace would grow

But still for some, it fails to rise

Because they think to know

 

Though scholars leave our finest schools

Diplomas proud in hand

With Darwin’s theory cultured fools

Fail God to understand

 

On radio is heard their voice

We see them on T.V

Clearly God’s Way is not their choice

The Truth they fail to see

 

Their criticism’s everywhere

With necks as stiff as iron

God ignorant, their passion share

Serving satanic wine

 

Demonic poison vast they spread

Like Pharisees before

Though worldly wise, they’re walking dead

Failing to find Life’s Door

 

Blind to The Lamb, God’s Christ God’s Son

Denying Heaven’s Light

Within the web the devil’s spun

Robbed of spiritual sight

 

They speak long words with narrow mind

No Truth of God within

If Christ in life they fail to find

They’ll perish in their sin

 

Not always is one’s knowledge right

Nor wisdom of the earth

Through Christ alone, comes perfect sight

That dawns with second birth. ....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
