Question

“Job 40:7-8 New King James Version (NKJV)“Now prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me:
“Would you indeed annul My judgment?
Would you condemn Me that you may be justified?
  Q

 

Is emptiness to be filled ... with a little more than nothing

with building blocks of worthless ... underpinned with a fake?

Is the foundation just a lie ... appearing to be something

with just some material ... lost in “for Heaven’s sake”?

 

Is it that me and you ... who in selfish become useless

as material prosperity blinds ... as we are getting by?

Build a house and get a spouse ... invest in what is “priceless”

with a shield that does not yield ... and then you wonder why?

 

You’ve got it made in the shade ... but still, you are clueless.

So you live never to give ... until you suddenly die.

You conform to the norm ... and wind up faceless

and all you’ve got is a fancy plot ... surprised you have to fry.
