Fools will Lead the Blind

by Truthseeker   May 12, 2012


Sudden realization of this world so cold,
draining all innocence making children grow old,
if people would just listen i would gladly tell,
to see the illusion and break out of this shell,
corrupted souls consumed by greed,
a hunger for money they relentlessly feed,
a world of thieves speaking nothing but lies,
are they worse than the fools who follow their cries,
when will a world in slumber awaken,
when will they see their souls have been taken,
when they've realized too late with no one to hold,
finally they will see what they've always been told,
misery is all they know in time of regret,
coming face to face with evil; though they've already met,
easily deceived to believe fire is cool,
they search for wisdom while becoming a fool,
hoping someone looks down with mercy,
but seeing only darkness and its abominable cursing,
be one of the few who is blessed to know,
that beneath the surface lurks many a foe,
not even my pity will you receive,
the waste of a life is all i will grieve,
you refuse to accept what few turn to see,
the ancient promise unlocks eternity,
the truth is certain and its words are bound,
in a clam you thought hollow,
a pearl is found

    To see this world as you do requires the "Eye Ointment" like the Balm of Gilead. It is only God's Holy Spirit that replaces those "Rose Colored" glasses that I and some others had viewed this world with.
    Jesus came to destroy the works of the Devil. The word of God says about believers; "We are of God and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. I like your post, it goes along with God's word; "Professing to be wise, they become fools! Keep up the good work! Ken

    Good metaphors and word choices...
    **corrupted souls consumed by greed,**I like this line and like how you write this thought..I agreed with you, recently, corruption is one of the reason why the government didn't progress...it's all about the greediness and discontentment...
    **a hunger for money they relentlessly feed,
    a world of thieves speaking nothing but lies**Cleverly written. Great.
    **they search for wisdom while becoming a fool,
    hoping someone looks down with mercy,**Another favorite line...pride is one of the seven capital sins that hard to overcome.
    Over all, I like the way you started your poem and the way you ended it. Very emotional and full of lessons. keep always writing.
    Deserve to rate of an excellent rate
