Life & Death Haikus: All Knowing (Original Poem)

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)


Is what you ask wise?
When you lack understanding,
God should be your source...


Wisdom is about the rarest characteristic and attribute in all of the world, for with it, you can acquire anything because of it. Wisdom can without a doubt be found in many places, but the main core of such is God Almighty.


"8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days."
(King James Version Bible - Book Kings: Chapter 3: Verse: 11)

Cross-checking, and questioning our ever-fallible humanly wisdom against that of the God Almighty, and the varied sacred scriptures so divinely handed down in His name, is but one of the multitude of profound and effective means by which we can most accurately measure and benchmark our respective points of view, and general outlook upon life and all the myriad of variants that such a worthwhile endeavor is likely to entail.

You came deep on this comment bro lol nice way to string along some quotables to get your point across, God humbles me everyday and it is best for me to just sit back and absorb what wisdom my puny brain can comprehend and intake in small doses lol

I always "go-deep," brother... I suspect it's simply the "passion" within me. There is nothing more admirable that humility - and God most certainly brings about the best of that in all of humanity.

Yes I completely agree with your sentiments. I am often refelctive and delve deep, but as I am human, I can skim the surface from time to time and humility and humbleness are always great attributes :)

It is that distinct humbleness and humility to which you speak that keeps us most wise.

I am far from wise my brother, but I hope to elevate everyday until I can say I am not a fool :)

I respectfully disagree, D. You have elevated yourself on your own volition to such an extent that there is simply no turning back the wisdom that you've already acquired in doing so. Much love, brother - now, and forever!
