Accurate Knowledge's Eternal Worth


Perplexion

swelling
toxic reflections
haphazardly
ejected

from
caustic dwellings
abound.

Snide,
sarcastic
or humorously
inclined

create not
intelligence
profound

as answers
simple or complex
persist

within one's grasp;

resound
around
our sphere.

Such knowledge
is amassed
into the mind

then tasted and savored
as cuisine exquisite

yes, truly refined

denied to none
sheep-like

genuine.

This banquet

divinely spread
circles the globe

to nourish the famished
to sooth a battered
bruised or just weary soul.

'Truth' be told

calmly, yet bold

one hungry must be fed
and then by spirit

gratefully led

to don pearls of
goodness

kind,

to a
'new personality'

clothed

oneself

fashionable
to all obedient
mankind.

To this fruitage
one must

faithfully adhere;

modeled
to humankind

by

'Wisdom
personified'

born

to walk our earth
in righteousness
adorned

proclaiming

'Good News'

to masses
credulously

astounded

buoyed
by these glorious
things heard.

Why hidden the message
when so delicious

'The Word'?


Witnessed
by those

wisely

not allowing faith to depart.

They then themselves
imparting true understanding
of prophecies

that cradled their hearts.

Lift voices joined
to give God deserving praise

since his loyal Son
his perfect human life

gave

then transported
back to heaven

his ransom
generously
paid

before his Father's
celestial throne

to obedient men
of all the nations
them thus

to eternally save.

To repudiate his birth:

Of what value?

Especially
when comprehended:

Accurate Knowledge's
Eternal Worth

during these dark
and empty days.

Perplexion

swelling
questions

haphazardly
ejected

from caustic dwellings

do not entertain.

The energy expended
will waste you

regretfully
away.
