numeric obscurity

Ecclesiastes 10:2 

A wise person’s good sense protects him,
but a fool’s lack of sense leaves him vulnerable.

 

Numeric obscurity

 

Let me race toward the end so I won’t be the first one

The price that is awaiting there may be a great surprise

At the expense of foe and friend I will be having fun

For I reign in my chosen sphere as I seldom summarize

 

Once I smiled towards the sunrise and was ready to tackle the day

Now I am in love with the sunset hoping and searching in the East

Ignoring facts and fatality’s cries in search of souls to let them pay

In the release of freedom’s net as it spins sin in the form of a beast

 

Writer’s cramp besets me before I pick up a pen

A great excuse mulling around in the darkness of the mind

It seems that in the span of things truth will be selective when

I discover that far beyond temporal’s birth I was inter-twined

 

With God’s purpose and predetermined in His Will

As true reality appears and replaces my illusions

And the purpose of my life and will are guided still

By the Spirit and the Light beyond my intrusions
