He’s fascinated with a certain Bible topic
And fancies himself on an exciting odyssey,
With which God is helping him in a time of both
Grand discovery and self-realization—
Using him, even, to reveal important truths
To an ignorant world.
And as he puffs himself up in imagining the answers,
Another has actually invested in study of all the texts
On the subject, as if the granting of those texts
To an ignorant world were intervention enough from God,
And ought not to be discounted in the face of the
Emotional make-believe of being a modern-day seer.
To the one, it’s about the texts and who gave them,
While to the other, it’s about himself.
