denying the chisel – v4

we are resisting the master
marble defiant
denying the chisel
the work of the sculptor
clay rebelling
leaving the wheel

we are refusing the potter
the touch of love
the hand of teaching
trusting ourselves
denying the chisel
not willing to yield

we are avoiding the forge
the hammer, the anvil
refusing to bend
to conform to the teaching
going our own way
not submitting to God
