Words of life
breathed precisely
into paragraphs,
sentences & phrases,
nouns, verbs
& prepositions,
yet how trivially
we use our speech,
chit-chat
and tit for tat,
the lingo of our daily
conversations
slathered with
gossip, slander, diatribe,
the lying expressions
of our finite minds
vocalizing the pretenses
of our actions,
yet we dare to question
the wisdom of holy writ,
in our sacrilegious culture,
we value our perspectives
over the validation
of the Divine,
our wits over
what is written
our willful opinions
our human quarrels,
our self-promoting prattle
over the Word of Life.
