Ignorance's Masquerade

Knowledge gloats, bickers and drivels

When stripped of the Giver’s guide

Wisdom resounds, Heaven's Phoenix

From ashes of Adamic pride

Knowledge makes noise, a student

Never acquiring its goal

Without Wisdom’s divine nature

Infiltrating the Whole

Knowledge, but a battered scepter

In Ignorance’s masquerade

If we deny the Creator

Whereby all things are made

No matter how well-learned someone may be, they cannot be aware of the absence of authenticity when an attitude of atheism fails to acknowledge the One whereby all knowledge is given. 

Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance, Prov. 1:5

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Prov.1:7

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Prov.2:6
