what fool would tear down
and humble what god has exalted?
what fool would exalt what god has torn down?
what idiot would brazenly grasp at crumbs?
the scatterings from beneath the table of the poor,
whilst there is a banquet spread
elaborately, generously and purposely prepared for those called to partake.
not by human stature
but by wisdom, grace and truth
lest any should gloat . . . .
lest any should bloat . . . .
oh lord, i can only humble myself
i am but a man
and always shall be.
but in the hand of god
may i prove faithful.
may i prove silent in my speech
and bold in my silence,
productive in my rest
and empty in my own efforts
