The harsh shadows
Wisdom is not harsh it does not shout berate or equivocate in the shadows of foolishness – instead it stands tall and empowers those who were formerly relegated to the dark confines of ignorance.
I’ve surmised that choosing to follow ignorance is a segue to our swirling waters of our demise.

I liked the style of your poem. I don’t know if I read too much into it, but I felt like there were many scripture tie-ins that were very creative. The first example being the title alluding to phillipians 2:10 (at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow). With the fear of the lord being the the beginning of wisdom, it fits perfectly with the subject of the the poem. Style-wise, your first stanza is reminiscent of Paul’s description of love in 1 Corinthians 13 which was a nice touch. I also think your “swirling waters” is an excellent multifaceted metaphor for ignorance. The first reason being that it not appear as immediately destructive but more of a gradual decline. The second is that one might not know in the beginning that they are in such a whirlpool. Lastly, when they do realize it, like being trapped in a vortex, it is very difficult to get out of such faulty thinking patterns. Thank you for sharing this.
