Ignore is not ignorance


2 Corinthians 6:11-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

Be Holy

11 O Corinthians!  We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.

 

Everyone has advice and so castles are built on it

a foundation on the beach right before a storm rolls in.

Almost like the mind in the ever-changing foaming

of ideas moving in ... with the dark temporal spin.

 

Good advice predestined as carved in conscience

guided by the Spirit of the all-knowing force.

Mostly ignored and seldom through obedience

accepted and in such the truth to bypass and ignore.

 

Excuses then are building blocks in our confused structure.

The temple where God resides ... becomes a useless shack.

Attractive on the outside ... with “white” walls of glitter

and on the inside dead man’s bones ... filling every nook and crack.
