Wisdom Calls

A Christian poem

Mama said

"Baby girl use your head"

Papa said

"Look for beautiful soul instead"

Grandma said

"With negative thoughts unnecessary worries you plead"

Teacher said

"contemplate on what you read"

Preacher said

"the mortal you shouldn't dread"

Jesus said

"my body is your bread"

God said

"see where your destiny led"

I said

"there's breakthrough ahead"

Sister said

"hope is not dead"

Darling said

"there's love outside the bed"

When the curtain falls

wisdom calls

Jesus to turn over the stalls

in God's temple

for there won't robbers assemble

It has been sanctified for prayer

For hearing God in its every layer

Wisdom moves around with a covered face

on the streets and in the marketplace

It's in the storm

His threat God is to perform

It's in the struggle and effort

Eternal teaching and knowledge coming forth

The shallow ignore the advice

The one who brags and boasts isn't wise

Still shouting for help they're ignorant

Fear turns the man into an infant

Bitter is the fruit for the one who dishonors the code

Plots and disobedience as their load

Common sense lies in the conscience

Seeing through your inner lens
