THE GENERATION OF SELF

It is the dawn of a new day, the birthing of a new era

And a generation has arisen, a very unbelieving one

A new breed of mediocre minds

For in their quest to think big, they neglect the very Being Who created them and everything that encompasses them;

The beauty of tree and flowers, the aesthetic nature of plants

The wildness and mildness of the tides, the fascinating nature of the seas

The queerness of animals, even the mystical nature of the anatomy of man

Speak of a glorious Designer and Creator

That all these did not just come into existence

That there is a Mastermind behind all these

Yet this generation has chosen to turn a blind eye

Indeed, a generation of mediocre minds!

For eons, man has lived selfishly

But a new breed has arisen, one at its most selfish best

The selfishness of this breed has reached its peak and cannot arise any further

A pinnacle so fearful that God is taken out of the picture

They take credit and all the praise for what God has done

Even as they try to immortalize themselves, they relegate God to the background

Always seeking to bring up something “new”

Just so their names will go down to generations

Even generations yet unborn

“By my own strength and sweat did I this”, they always say

They always fail to give God the praise for His hand in it

A selfish breed indeed!

For ages man has worked hard and thorough

But a new race has surfaced, one that works hard in vain

A race of hardworking fools

They turn the world topsy-turvy just to “find” answers that are right before their eyes

On their march for modernization, they wear their bodies out to seek answers

Answers they already have, yet when they do “find” eventually

They twist the truth just so they do not go mad

For the answer always boils down to God

And their little minds, though knows this

Seeks another that is “more comforting”

Like “God is energy” and so forth

A funny and pathetic bunch they are

I shake my head almost always when I hear of them

Almost all of them take most of their lives to come to these funny conclusions

Wearing out both soul and body

Indeed! A race of hardworking fools they are
