More education is the nation's cry

You always need more knowledge and more facts

So you can afford a life worth living

Precise wisdom is what this theory lacks

 

Riches alone will never fulfill you

The best books of knowledge are incomplete

Rewarding life and genuine treasures

Will never corrode nor grow obsolete

 

Life, itself, teaches the greatest lessons

With the wisdom that our Lord imparts

We gain more than earthly perceptions

When true reason and love engulf our hearts

 

As we humble ourselves before our Lord

Patiently listening for His Spirit's voice

Things which may have hurt and confused us

Become actual reasons to rejoice

 

You may ascertain much earthly knowledge

From leading universities and schools

But those who fail to seek God's wisdom

Are merely self-deceived educated fools

"You may ascertain much earthly knowledge

and trust me Ellen, there are plenty of such kinds all around us...they mock those who believe in God...I really pity them...
"forgive them LORD for they don't know what they are doing"...i don't remember where i read this but this makes so much sense to me...!!

How true this poem is...lots of people want earthly knowlegde and think that thats the only thing there is...but really it is useless to us...we should look to the one that created all...and learn lessons he is teaching us threw the bible...for really thats the only knowlegde we need to know to get by...i really like this poem :)

This is an amazing piece. I found it to be fresh, and original. Great piece.

What good is an education if we lack the ability to discern and use it to give credit to our Creator?
It is so sad that some have degree, after degree, yet lack common sense and spiritual sense!
Well written and expressed as always!
With Blessings and friendship,

You are so right my friend, the majority are so far from God, the wisdom from GOD doesn't feel their pockets. Money is the true evil, Lies and deceit follows. I reviewed a beautiful poem today for a 15 year old, so beautiful. I have many young friends, teens they are. I'll check for the poem and have you review it. Reviewing their poems, including Our Lord, may be of some help for some misguided and troubled teens. Thank you my friend for sharing your awesome poem with me. God Bless you.
In friendship
