It’s good to be very intellectual, I’ve known a few who are.
It’s much better then being common or simple! Yes, by far!
But the only problem with the intellectual ones I’ve known,
is quite often they get caught up in a wisdom of their own.
Where the common one is more likely to follow the Lord’s plan,
quite often the intellectual one will follow an idea of man.
I’m amazed when I see an intellectual, traveling a strange road,
thinking he’s wiser because he’s smarter, rejecting teachings of old.
The intellectual one, often called a free-thinker, can lead many astray,
saying being religious is just being bound to an old superstitious way.
He has the intellect to blend what is popular with that which is right,
compromising his spiritual honor and integrity and a future bright.
How utterly ironic that one could be too smart for his own good!
Choosing status or free-thinking, instead of choosing as he should.
It seems easier for the common one to believe in, and accept God.
And to him, a judgement day and a hereafter doesn’t seem odd.
The common one seems more reserve in choices and things done.
Which really makes me wonder ...who’s the more intelligent one.
