Isaiah 42:18-20 

The Lord Reasons with His People

18 “Listen, you deaf ones!
Take notice, you blind ones!
19 My servant is truly blind,
my messenger is truly deaf.
My covenant partner, the servant of the Lord, is truly blind.
20 You see many things, but don’t comprehend;
their ears are open, but do not hear.

Nonsense flowing out of my pen messing up some paper

Lingering in contemplation as dullness moves too slow

Thought confirmed in emptiness to disappear like a vapor

Deep in the mist now hiding in the value of eating crow

Is it worth the keeping what no one wants to hear?

Should it be on display with what’s lost and forgotten?

To be admired only by self in darkness with some fear

and to be understood by some as out of time begotten?

A time, a place, but out of touch ... deaf within all noise

Glaring into the distance for what is living next door

Join the club now brothers and make a similar choice

Follow me to nowhere to escape from your inner core
