Opposable Thumbs
arrogant thought
that time and chance yield life
that physical attributes yield wisdom
that existence yields justification
oh how far we have come from Glory
to replace it with futile thoughts
exploring phantom dreams as truth
oh how far we have come from our Source
that we fabricate our own
and remove all our hope
I had watched a bit of Alien Planet over
the weekend and was struck by man’s
arrogance: creating a lie to discuss as
fact to disprove Truth. So noble a being,
so wasted a life. This is the Alien Planet.
Alien from He to whom it owes its all.
The title comes from one of the final
arrogances of the lie when we are told
that opposable thumbs are one of the
requirements for intelligent life.
Is there no end to our arrogance?
