By faith we understand that the universe was ordered by the word of God. Hebrews 11:3 Oh loving God. You gifted us with a wonderful earth, An orchard enthralled with delicious fruit, Tame animals of all kinds, And birds rare and colorful swirling above, Whilst all around fragrance Add a sense of luxury or personality. All created for human’s delight. and enjoyment. Despite man’s fall from the wiles of the serpent, We still have a covenant to observe. Love God first above all And love thy neighbour like yourself. God works the whole week, For He continues to create goodness. Keeping this miserable planet rotating To produce food and water. Yet man is destructive. Wars abound everywhere And when cities are destroyed, we blame the Creator. Stop, O miserable human. And reflect: We must take care of His creation.

Victor, you've written a beautiful poem that is full of knowledge. Indeed, man has no sense of remorse, and he persists to plunder Planet Earth in a cruel manner, rather than safeguarding her! Humanity has undoubtedly created a mess of things, and corruption and greed have played a significant role in this.

You speak to God and then to man…of God’s goodness and man’s destructiveness. Well said!

I love the closing lines, powerful but necessary. The same Scripture says God disciplines His sons & daughters. If they are not his, He won't use loving lessons (righteous "discipline"). ThanX for a great Word

Great wisdom in your verse. If we don't take care of God's creation who will.

Your message is universal and sadly going unheeded!

God created this beautiful Earth for all of us to enjoy ! Through our First Parents' disobedience, Earth became accursed ! Yet there is so much of beauty for us to enjoy ! Man has no contrition and he keeps on disfiguring Mother earth callously, instead of preserving her!God will be pained to see His creation defiled . Beautiful poem Victor !

Victor so often I have remarked the same Man can do this put people on the moon Do nuclear fusion the Hadron collider, yet war.? Its allowed to build weapons and it's a way to Create peace..? There are cases of people being Displaced just to control wage costs, being Encouraged to mass migrate from wherever & Causing inflation and dereliction in the land they leave. Who is thinking this out..?

Count me in. Waste of time trying to reach Mars if you cannot live there! Meanwhile children die of hunger.
