WISDOM

Unto what shall our era be likened?

Are we like unto people of old?

Are we so far removed from the ancients of days,

We gain not from their story now told?



Has the God of our fathers been vanquished?

Have we found other means to get by?

Is there cause any more for salvation?

Or perhaps are we living a lie?



Unto what shall our era be likened?

We are like they of whom the Lord said…

Who dance not when we’re piped and lament not when mourned

As we sit in the market for bread.



For we claim we want all that God stands for

Be it goodness, or rightness, or peace

Yet with the same lips we state, “Don’t speak of God”

And we’ve done all to make his words cease.



But God surely still reigns in the Heavens,

Searching out for the simple and meek.

For as it is written, wisdom is justified

Of her children who quietly seek.
