Never satisfied


Proverbs 27:20 New English Translation (NET Bible)

20 As Death and Destruction are never satisfied,
so the eyes of a person are never satisfied.

 

Kind of interesting … the wicked and the weak

For a short time together with choices to be made

All to decide somehow with a few becoming meek

As most are moving into an expanding deceiving state

 

With judgment slow in coming … iniquity keeps growing

Smiling in the sunset darkness claims victory

Folks roam blindly on thinking that they’re all-knowing

Until the hammer falls pointing to lots of misery

 

Most will scream in agony: “I did not know the better”

Some swallow their defeat thinking it won’t be forever

And as the pit fills up with the tarred and feathered

As beyond their reach, God’s Glory moves the lever

So very true and exquisitely written. The wording, rhyme, images and metaphors make this a poem of impact. It is powerful not only for the poetics, but the sheer honesty.
