Apathy

Luke 10:25

A fire burns inside
consumes secret things
hidden from self

suffering the mercy
of endless senselessness
guilt, boarding on apathy

The Bible records and convicts
leading to authenticity
reveals a bountiful humanity

chaos, random patterns
do not comfort the soul
intelligent design is amusing

yet, every day spirituality
prances softly in the light
a calling ~ a compulsion to sow seeds

  1. Hi Christina,

    I still can't sign in for some reason, but this is what I tried to write

    Christina, this poem is excellent! At first I thought it was a verse from the bible, then I realized it was your own poem. Great job sweetie, great job!

    Love and miss you,

  3. A complex poem, Christina. My poetic intuition senses many varied impressions and ideas. The main thing that I consider is the Kantian view of the universe, which states, in essence, that the way the human mind is ordered within is projected by humans to the universe outside. In other words, the universe is designed by a more superior intellect than our own, and we will never understand the universe because we cannot actually view the universe. Only God can do that. Do I make sense here, Christina? That would be the reason that "intelligent design is amusing," because the concept of "intelligent design" can only come from the intellect of Man. He cannot think outside the box and approach the intellect of God, therefore, Man can never know the design of the universe, which can only be a product of the intellect of God.
