Forgetfulness


 

1 Corinthians 14:32-33 New English Translation (NET Bible)

32 Indeed, the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets, 33 for God is not characterized by disorder but by peace.

 

Forgetfulness where do you come from?

Oh! You can’t remember?

That is cute, but really now

Should I start taking gingko?

Is it a chemical imbalance

within the framework of the blood?

Or maybe powers of darkness

who influence concentration’s flow.

 

If there is a spirit involved

it surely is not God’s.

I know He tolerates it

but He surely does not like it.

Looking at disease

like Alzheimer’s and so,

makes one wonder all along

how mankind can survive it?
