2 Timothy 3:16-17 

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,

for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, 

thoroughly equipped for every good work.

 

No thought for the moment did the well run dry?

At times cups overflow and sometimes it just dries

 

Where is the inspiration when denseness overrules?

Does it go into hiding as my longings drool?

 

Is there a lock on sorrow or on the absence of grief?

As it removes inspiration in this world of unbelief

 

If the embrace of indifference and have things in the right place

Is this not a major hindrance for the confused human race?

 

Where is now sensitivity for the needs of foe or friend

Does this hamper productivity as we give with empty hands?

 

Unless we give of ourselves we really give much of nothing

But if we’re filled with emptiness is that then good for something?

 

To give what we don’t have and fill others with it

Will it reproduce ourselves in the form of a nitwit

 

Are you still with me as I scribble on?

Well this is not all of it as I keep rambling on

 

Hmm …
