Lack of fear
Proverbs 9:10
10 The beginning of wisdom is to fear the Lord,
and acknowledging the Holy One is understanding.
“The fear of the Lord is wisdom”... Well! Bless America.
“To depart from evil is understanding”... how stupid we must be?
Intelligence heaped on piles ... as grown-ups eats greedily
to fill self with it to the brim ... so they can wheel and deal.
Walking into self-justification making their chosen rule.
Like bobcats or the weasel ... always in search of prey.
Killing to survive ... in its chosen environment of fools
whose priorities at best ... die at the beginning of each day.
It is not a pretty picture ... that hangs on every wall
of hearts in depravity ... who like these decorations
Gosh! We are messed up ... and all because the Fall
that most say did not happen ... in their lost realization.
Jan Wienen
