A Likelihood Understood

a constanza

Is God’s viewpoint misunderstood?
Sodom burned in His discontent
for conduct our courts give assent.

Though some fault rests with Hollywood,
most immoral misbehavior,
living proof, man needs a Savior.

Like Mother Eve, man has withstood
conformance to a righteous way
choosing to yield as Satan's prey.

The Creator of all things good
shaped gender with no compunction,
procreation, its core function.

Our God knew as only He could
the all-pervasive attraction
of sexual interaction.

For sure He saw sin’s likelihood,
prostitution and abortion,
and all kinds of sex-distortion.

By sheer grace, God forgives deadwood.
Jesus died; He’s our Salvation,
redemption from hell’s damnation.

     Is God's viewpoint misunderstood?
     Though some fault rests with Hollywood,
     Like Mother Eve, man has withstood
     the Creator of all things good.
     Our God knew as only He could,
     for sure He saw sin’s likelihood.
     By sheer grace, God forgives deadwood.

Met the form years ago and wrote a couple then but your contest renewed my interest in the internal linking the constanza requires. Enjoyed it; thanks for the HM.
