God's Do-Over

If God could do it all over again
    would He create a race of men 

  who disavow Him at every turn
    elevating themselves, their ashes in urns

Hi Gershon, Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, does everyone not know that, Man has become so egotistical that he has asked his family to probably safe his ashes, for what, to each their own, but salient paragraphs in the Bible should be repeated to families with such a visible ornament, of which they are so proud. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

God is omniscient. He knew before Eve ate the fruit of good and evil (otherwise it would not have been there) and he did start over once, with a flood. He gave men free will to live and die as they choose. By killing nature, we are basically killing ourselves a slow death. A very simple but thought provoking poem, GW.
