Faith And Doubt

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Faith will not flinch
in the presence of spoof.
Faith will not squinch
in the absence of proof.
Reason is treason to blind believers.
Treason is reason to mind deceivers.
Doubt will not clinch
in the presence of proof.
Doubt will not winch
in the absence of spoof.
Treason is reason to mind deceivers.
Reason is treason to blind believers.
