Poem Title:
Poem
In the beginning When humanity began to walk The Creator would come down Just to talk ...with man Time passed And possibilities began to arise Everything permissible Except that one, where man dies ...alone Well, it happened And really, not that bad, it seemed Man lived and had children Without a Creator who intervened ...incessantly Murder is learned And it surfaced with brothers Toil, pain and suffering For shamed mothers ...of sons The Flood came A new beginning for a clean slate But if experience is a teacher Habit had an open gate ...to the heart Man decided to be god Unity helped them build a tower A pyramid with an altar atop So that man could have power ....to destroy The more man roamed And saw the difference of choice Submission seemed ignorant When the silence vibrated with voice ...to hold Love happens freely There shouldn't be one "right" way Sodom and Gomorrah erupted With the insanity of making HOLY ANGELS man's prey ...for sex We want a king! They cried And The Creator provided, yet again No one liked the sacrificial system And HIS obsession with sin ...the SIN ...................of WOman .............................................He should be over it by now. Even when THAT king failed Many others followed, leadership sealed GOD can NOT be our king Because that position is currently filled ...with man Religion and Politics gathered In a governing system, like a pyramid on dry land Man grew comfortable in position and power That made them oblivious to the shifting sand ....of natural disaster So solid is the foundation In this time of civilized man That those who claim HIS name Have no NEED to reach for HIS hand ...anymore Six long days have passed And man has finally arrived at the top Humanity understands LOVE conquers fear And no weapon can ever stop ...a CHILD OF GOD GOD RESISTS ......................THE PROUD ..........................................even if they are CHILDREN OF GOD Written by Trudy Schrader on 03/17/2020
