MISSING THE WOODS FOR THE
TREES!
Our advances in medicine and science -
with all updates,
Is for the benefit of mankind against
complexities of fate!
The same science which saves us in
retail, *
In a war it destroys us all - wholesale!
With our high level specialization these
days, -
We know more and more of less and less!
And when you look into outer space be
rest assured,
We are learning less and less of more and
more!
But in all our endeavors let this be true,
We should not miss out the wood for the
trees, -
While we pay Him His dues!
Let us delve more into our hearts and our
minds,
The place where He truly resides!
For He is the wood and He is the tree,
In Him all knowledge resides and is also
set free!
