O Fair I SeeA student of the word Ive been, much knowledge I have gainedIm set apart from worldly men through wisdom Ive attainedThrough diligence and discipline my godliness has grownIm well respected by my peers, in honor my name knownI thank the Lord for His commands, I strive each one to keepNot like the wandering multitudes of men as dumb as sheepMy friends are all devout and true to maintaining whats rightWhile others stumble in the dark, I walk in the lightI pray and fast and memorize and then I meditateI love the Law and Prophets therefore evil do I hateIm careful not to mingle with the common multitudeTheir ignorance and folly I consider just plain rudeHere lately though the common crowd is rumored to be seekingSome self-made prophets miracles and words that he is speakingTheyre saying he might be the One that we have long awaitedBut common men are just like fish on hooks that have been baitedWe know prostitutes and publicans and lawless men like suchShould never be considered wise, they cant know very muchBut men who whove studied and been trained are those who truly seeBetter than most, not meant to boast, just humble men like memakrothumia

ReplyAs you point out we all are blind. But yet some are willing to go.Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the Lord? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.Eddie
