To Think Of God Who Is Omniscient (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

(in answer to M. M. Walters)

To think that God who is omniscient and has got knowledge of everything,
who is from eternity to eternity does not comprehend His existence,
is a stream of thought that is infected with human incompetence
where we that as mortals do decline,
do want to formulate Him and from what He does come,
as if He has to come from something to astonish us with,
where His science is above our capacity, ability and comprehension
where even the most brilliant men are truly stupid
when they are measured against God, His thoughts and science,
or do we now see ourselves as gods that can have contempt of Him,
where constantly he does perform miracles outside of our science,
when He does things by His power when to us it seems far too late,
just as we cannot bring the spark of life to a scientific formula
and this existing thing does not jump into the hands of man.
