Matter

How much
Does it
Matter really
If we’ve read
Through the Bible
In a year

If we can quote

Full chapters
From memory

If we know

The Hebrew root
Of whatever

How much
Do such
Bible heroics
Matter really
If we aren’t
Even reading
It right

If we

Create meaning
Where there
Is none

If we

Skip over
The parts
That hold
Wisdom

If we don’t

Get the meaning
Right
I think
Not much else matters
At all
