Examine Your Tools Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

Friend
Do you measure land with a barometer
Can you understand
The law of gravity by testing
The freezing point of mud
At its greatest density
"There is no God
By knowledge's rules! "
Friend, examine your tools
To discover God you must form your plan
To the nature of God Himself,
Not the nature of man
The only key is that forgotten faculty
That pulses through you
Now and then
Eluding the hand
And startling the mind
Spirit it's called
Friend, oh my friend
You will not find God
With mistaken tools
Who weighs a stone
With a measuring tape
Just Fools!
