Trickle-down belief

John 14:16-17 New English Translation (NET Bible)

16 Then I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it does not see him or know him. But you know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

 

Trickle-down belief is under a perpetual-noisy drip

Imposed by man or by self, in search of a four-leaf clover

Opinions on the rampage through private interpretation

of truths in the bible, while the meek have to move over.

 

Man’s conglomeration of his own intellect

ruled by his mind or the mind of others.

Searching for some truths to impress the gathered

becoming willing victims until darkness smothers.

 

Gone too quick, gone too far. It is too late to follow

I am already worn out by just lying in the ground

Why is there a mystery and constant consternation?

I look up at the sky on my way sliding down?

 

Jan Wienen
