2 - Rainbow's Questions, Are There Answers

Noah's PR seems quite fragile; I'm compelled to say,
Sons have wives at odds with wisdom, God's plan's feet are clay?
The Bible says wives’ families all perish in His flood,
Miracle (shock not withstanding) God's name isn't mud!

But I sense another problem, that should be addressed,
Nothing's changed in human nature! Where is this confessed?
Maybe humans "act the same" expecting things will change,
But for God to act like us? Well! That seems sadly strange!

Is there something that I'm missing, let me set the stage!
God who witnesses corruption, yields to deadly rage?
Where's TRUE "justice" in this venue? Where's discerning calm?
How did men betray? Did God succumb to own aplomb?

Sins of parents curse their child, for man yes, but from God?
Question Two! Must babies die? I still think this is odd!
Water's found to bury land, but why not children save,
Shock to all, this Bible tale! They drown! Their gift the grave.

Only one thing mitigates, men own their soul, God lives,
Time on earth at his command, soul's future what He gives.
Death unknown, our life a gift, the earth's provisioned well,
Best to trust God's love to last, for ‘friends’ can make life hell!
