the adversary

in the darkness of your light
you bare your ignorance
calling out of your blindness
that you can't see

like an anger so hellbent
can't turn around
you insist because you can't
but you're not weak

some people just don't get arithmetic
others, for the life of them, can't read
still others know enough
to think that they have figured out
that every thing that they don't get
is sour grapes

but to argue with a fool
who gives a damn only to prove
that if by chance he persuades you
he proves a lie
that God is too

is to sing to deafened ears
cast pearl to swine that will not hear
and stoop a little to despair
guilty of your will
and lost there

in the darkness of your light
you bare your ignorance
calling out of your blindness
that you can't see

like an anger so hellbent
can't turn around
you insist because you can't
but you're not weak

let the world say what it will
they will be satisfied
and don't contend with what they will
He will be glorified

hold fast to what is true
what your faith has revealed to you
and in the face of mockery
simply stand

the world will not be saved
nor was it ever meant to be
our choice, to choose the gift of life
or hold the hand of misery
