the wise man

will we fall or rise?
the ends no surprise
if we look through heaven's eyes

like the wise man said
use your head not your lips
i give you full strength
equipped with a silent gun that grips

a gun that blasts wisdom
how come
we're all running from
the wisest one?
we want to be the brightest one
the fastest one
the hottest one
not the meekest one

you see
god did hang on a tree
but it wasn't so we could
be a rock star
because rock stars don't bring
the world far
dying on an overdose of self
egomaniac always wants to tell
but when it comes to love
they'd rather buy than sell
rather tell than show
because at their show and tell
they are the only talent

"sell MY self?
give all I got?
you must be tripping
stop blowing up my spot"
so these rockstars on the pulpit
kings and queens on the red carpet
hold up their dreams but it seems
the theme of their dreams
is THEM
not what the wise man told them to be
see, the man who is the meekest
nobody remembers
come december
when the tree's lose their leaves
you hear the wise
man singing in the sweet breeze
" go out and love the least of these"

the wise man made the difference
kings and queens seem amazing
self esteemed
but popularity breeds
problems like weeds
in the garden god is
trying to grow us in

the ego
must go
if we go
to show show
show off the glitz the fluff the glamor
we gotta remember the man
who had spikes banged into his hands by a hammer
the wise man never stammered
he lead by example
he walked the walk
and talked in few words..
so when you feel like your at
your worst
you're actually at your best
because the ego bites your ass
when you believe YOUR better than
the rest
......

hey, we aren't gods gift to the world
god is the GIFT..
we got to humble ourselves in order
to show others that gift.
(god reserved a special space within us..where that gift fits..and if we become egomaniacs we won't have room for that gift.}


ECCLESIASTES 9:13-17
Wisdom Better Than Folly
13 I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me: 14 There was once a small city with only a few people in it. And a powerful king came against it, surrounded it and built huge siegeworks against it. 15 Now there lived in that city a man poor but wise, and he saved the city by his wisdom. But nobody remembered that poor man. 16 So I said, "Wisdom is better than strength." But the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.

17 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded
than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
but one sinner destroys much good.
