Poetry

---

Is it not wisdom found,
Among aging over time;
Wisdom as insanely sound,
Wisdom learned within its prime.

Long life brings understandings,
That we learn from the mistakes;
As the takeoffs and landings,
That a fighter pilot makes.

God has power and wisdom,
Understanding and counsel;
That flows down from His Kingdom,
In your heart and mind to dwell.

By chance if He tears it down,
It can never be rebuilt;
Never to erase the frown,
No confession from the guilt.

If He imprisons a man,
There is not any escape;
Because His iron clad plan;
Keeping you caged like an ape.

If He holds back the waters,
Then the rivers will dry up;
And then your thirsty daughters,
Will have nothing in their cup.

If He would then release them,
The water destroys the land;
Causing a flood to condemn,
As spoken by His command.

With Him are strength and prudence,
Over the fake gone astray;
Persevere with confidence,
While trusting to obey.

He makes judges into fools,
Loosens the bonds of the kings;
For interpreting the rules,
Wrongly to match their own flings.

He leads the priests stripped away,
Overthrows the potentates;
Lions devours its prey,
The deceiving apostates.

He exposes the deep state,
Reveals what hides in the dark;
The shadows will seal their fate,
A torrid lake to embark.
