Land of things
Proverbs 20:11 New English Translation (NET Bible)
11 Even a young man is known by his actions,
whether his activity is pure and whether it is right.
Blindness
In the land of the blind “One eye” is king.
In the space of the deaf many seem wise
In the realm of the heart sensitivity clings
to the reborn and the delivered in Christ.
In this very place, people seem in a daze
Ready to follow without any direction.
There are many kings in this land of things,
where fear keeps blindness in subjection.
People in love with money and such
are united in hunger for power and greed
Unions of the blind choose leaders of mush
who’ll join the ranks later of that very breed?
