fools die for lack of wisdom

this dark night

©2-15-15 hannah mclean

my heart sorrows

as i look across the slew

of degradation

deceived minds

desensitized to sin

encased in evil and

unable to discern their end

a proverb rolls across my mind

“fools die for lack of wisdom”

no foresight

enslaved to things of earth

spiraling downward toward destruction

rejecting their only Lifeline

in the cause of exploration

indulging the flesh

oblivious to the stench 

of decay

i weep

what must our Savior think

what must He feel

as memories of pain endured

separation from holiness and 

Godhead

to become sin that 

we might become the righteousness of God

roll through His mind

i imagine that if He hung this moment

upon a rugged cross

blood soaked

He would look out at empty fields

for WHO WILL TURN to look upon the One 

who frees 

and makes whole

at a mere turn of our eyes

what sorrow must this slain Lamb feel

and fury

what fury must this reigning Lion roar

rejected glory

for this time of grace will end

and justice will come

upon the heads of the wicked

and though our Father

sorrows over all souls lost

He is holy

and just

and hell is a must

and so i look into the darkness

and ask my Lord to fill me with His Light

may it pour from my eyes

my hands 

my feet

my lips

that i leave behind a path that glows with hope

and shine before me 

a light that never grows dim

for Hope is greater

JESUS is greater

than this dark night
