Chicken

I, the egg, split me open
And show the blood on my yolk
Men's brains would be better scrambled
Than left to hatch

Into wars over who cracks who
And who gets to pour their batter 
Into another's mold

Fire up the oven
All men should burn in hell
God included

For God is a man
A man who is as prideful
As the star He makes fall

Yet God suffers no consequences
And curses all anger against Him
He fights fire with fire 
That He never feels the burn of

God wouldn't make hell
If He risked writhing in it
And yet wakes man up to choose
To fall into subservience
Or wish he'd never been born

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

When you're at the top of the tree, you just look down on the chaos below. God probably gave man the instructions on life, but being man, he never read them.
