A while ago, I posted a poem on this forum entitled "The Thief". Using scriptural references and such, I converted passage into a form of poetry. I felt writers itch, so I began writing another poem similar to "The Thief". The Wise and the Foolish (1 Corinthians 1:18-31) For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, A heart so cherishing is nothing but famishing, deprived of the bread and wine that Christ is bearing. The intelligence of the intelligent will become frustrated, with a heart so jaded, intended for love but have turned to hatred. Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher? Where is the love for the aborted sons and daughters? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, Not many of are wise by human standards, but hollow and numb. Through foolishness of what was preached saved those who believe, We preach Christ crucified, the One who set captives free from hurt and the tangled webs we weave. That is our righteousness, holiness and redemption, Through the blood of Christ you have been given the right to eternal exemption. Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
