Too Smart To Understand

They admit they’ll never
know how much sand
Lays on the beach,
but they will not depart
From their belief in the secular art
Of scientific “fact” which,
though quite bland,
Much of society can’t understand;
Yes, they may be reacting
from their heart
Yet they are (not good for them)
too darn “smart”
And thus closed to the Spirit—
God’s own hand.
Though the intellectuals
will do naught but brand
The Spirit as “hokus pokus”
and start
Muttering amongst themselves
how quite grand
They are, like a bull’s eye
hit by a dart,
And the large grants ready
at their command
And how God’s the donkey
pushing the cart.
