The words of Us

A Poem by NotAproved

Foolishness is more than being stupid, that deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance.” ― Paul David Tripp

Once cantankerous and endless his words were. He who has seen the world as it is doesn't speak for the things of the world do not require words. Rather grumble silently in the face of calamity. And the fool who assumes he has spits his words upon every tenuous thing. willing not to lend his ears to the wise. his hearts in his shoes. Beaten by his heels. He is a fool with his values laid low. Only the ground he sees, where the lowly tings prosper, but if only would his eyes graze the endless wonder of the sky. Would he genuinely grasp its beauty. If ever the stars were to reach out and hold him, Would he feel it. Even so... I ask would he look up again or will the ground be his only confidant? Only if he is willing then should this man walk with his head high, his words would be of worth.
