Atom Vs Adam

Did God create the oceans dry
His forests without greenery
to declare?~ Obviously not!
As every overhead cloud bears
proud witness, and every raindrop 
can claim a rightful lush share: 

We are partners all, in nature; 

each for Mother's Pleasure made...

each with a starring role – but only
her man, using one finger of a hand
can turn countless plush gardens
into blazes of Classic Hell. With
just one downward thrust, of
his fallen hand, trillions of atoms
will collide and devastatingly expel
death...a blinding flash of sin 

First Adam began with spiritual 
division, that modern Adam has 
perpetuated by splitting atoms
into disintegrating parts~ 

soon to split
his entire world 
into lifeless remains

while stridently blaming
some scapegoat she-devil
for our own destructive 
hearts.

Seasons' Satisfaction, Joe. - your Atom and Adam poem is holds a fair and logical perspective, - wrapped in succinct, entertaining form. It was provoking and consoling for me.

Thank you, Sigrid; I don't start with a plan when beginning a new work; I just sort of jot down quickly random thoughts as they enter my mind; and when something comes out that I think is interesting enough to be expanded -- that's what I do. So pleased when it turns out well enough for others to also enjoy. Blessings!

Hmm I have a thought.? A take on the breaking Seals in revelations.' Could that be about the Splitting of atoms.' They are life's building blocks Some say, is it sacrilegious to break them.? I have my thoughts on this; Joe.'
