Commentary:

In this writeup, I try to look at the plan of God through creation and how, for many years, the issue of God’s existence and ways has been a puzzle for me. Every culture and people have had a great description of what they will like their God to be. Yet he seems to pride Himself in his desire to beat our description. He is disrespected by many, appreciated by few. And even after 2000 years of the advent of Jesus Christ, many more seem to demand enough credibility from His Son. Perhaps God has figured out the ways of our expectation and throughout creation revealed Himself in a way that has made intellectuals downplay Him, the arrogant ignore Him and the honourable reject Him. This thought-provoking move of God’s ability to play with the expected and unexpected in time has turned the course of events in History for which many have missed Him and until now after creating a grand universe, many are still searching for Him…..

PreVerse:

The Unpredictable Planner…

The argument of men is He should have been greater

But God has hidden Himself in the cryptography of His own world

We have been played by our perspective

Wronged by our assumptions

We have ignored His life for the delusions of death

And He has played with the chords our pride

For men have sought a God greater as the Hologram of Zeus

Sadly, His plan was to sell to us merchandize we will never buy

For He knew the preference of our undesirable boutique

He has defrauded us with his description

And we have fallen for the Godly-Rip Off

Full Writeup Below:

The Unanticipated King…

We sell a merchandise man have not bought

Its price is not valued by that of the costly marbles of earth but by blood

There goes wine in a bottle of hope

This is fresh air incubated in the tubes of peace

This is God-not-seen, yet searched by the patriots

Discovered by men, yet still unfound

This is the goods we have bought

He is advertisable

He is what we search for, but have never found

He hides Himself in light, yet invisible in darkness

2000 years after his life

His earthly citizenship is still requested for

He is the army commander not reverenced as such

Yeah, we have sought a greater

He is projected as a conquering King

Yet an interviewer of the sick at a brook

There is a solder, marshalling an army with civilians

A shock-of-a-conqueror, subduing Kingdoms with peasants

The Unforeseen Visitor

There goes the Son of a Carpenter

In the house of Simon

Rumoured in the courts of Herod

Yet lying in the fields of Galilee

Found by those that have not searched for Him

While millions crave his attendance

The gemstones of Arabia describe His palace

Yet his role-play seeks neither

He dwells in the hearts of mortal men, the last place we will search for Him

His eyes sees even through the hearts of men, yet he pretends as if he is blind

Seen as a criminal, yet with the trodden the steps of a Saviour

Expected to be immortal but with a 33-year deficit

The Shephard of the field, still wandering through our lives in many homes.

The Unpredictable Designer…

He cuddles a baby to sleep

Yet researched in the Books of the Pharisees

He draws the algorithm of creation, yet his own algorithm seems inverted

For geometry is authored by his hands, pinpointing him at the centre

Scientist keep fighting this out

Yet He pretends as if He was never called

They plea for His answers

Yet He has laid down a lot of questions to discover

See all the debaters argue Him out

They demand his immediate response

He has made himself known to babes

Ignoring the philosophies of Socrates

The Grand Hall reverence His designs

Yet He seems unimpressed with its wonder

Surprising commoner’s banquets with His presence

As if he has never spiralled creation with his hands

Found by a people that have not searched for Him

While many crave His attendance

The Unpredictable Planner…

The argument of men is He should have been greater

But God has hidden Himself in the cryptography of His own world

We have been played by our perspective

Wronged by our assumptions

We have ignored His life for the delusions of death

And He has played with the chords our pride

For men have sought a God greater as the Hologram of Zeus

Sadly, His plan was to sell to us merchandize we will never buy

For He knew the preference of our undesirable boutique

He has defrauded us with his description

And we have fallen for the Godly-Rip Off
