Lack of Faith

Chiaryn Davis

What have I left to give
if I have given all to fear?
Christ has been shut out
by the plaintiffs void scream.
His double-edged sword
can pierce the callous abyss
only if I believe.
What good is my faith
if I allow the powerless
to overcome a king?
How vain God’s love
if he’d kept his only son
from the beginning.
