What is that invisible Blight
That twists the logic of insight
And bends the rules of holiness
To satisfy material ‘yes’
What takes motives of Good Intent
And wreaks havoc with its dissent
What feeds the failure to discern
Objective’s ultimate return
And blinds perception’s acumen
With what seems credible, but then
When looking back we are surprised
At what it lacked when undisguised
What makes a man stoop to new lows
In a maelstrom of verbal blows
Where no one is better or worse
When it comes to that inborn curse
Because the plight of humankind
Is universally entwined
What makes mere mortal swagger-bold
While love for life’s Giver runs cold
What warps wisdom’s intelligence?
And strips the mind of common sense
Could it be lack of holy fear
For the God we ought to revere

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow His
precepts have a rich understanding. His praise endures forever!
Prov. 9:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
