Believing Thomas!

He only said,
"I too must see the Lord -
I saw him die,
I must be sure
he lives!"

And Thomas saw
and believed -
"My Lord and my God!"

Yet a race of men
with not a whit of faith
beyond their own sufficiency,
full capable
of blasting themselves
with their machines
into oblivion,
brands as a doubter
this great man of faith!
