Here Comes the Judge

When God made us did He say
It's fine to throw your life away?
Did He say that you can do
Anything that you want to?

Destroy yourselves, 
Destroy each other,
Destroy your brother, sister, mother.

Destroy the Earth,
Destroy the Stars,
Destroy the Planets -
Even Mars

Or did He say that you should love
All on earth and up above

So full of greed - so shallow too,
I wonder what He'll do with you
When He decides the time has come
For you to know what you have done.

Myself, I say forgive you,
But only He decides,
Atrocities like this
Demand that He presides.

THERE IS ONLY ONE JUDGE AND THAT'S GOD

Marilyn, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT

Welcome to the site. Good write. One suggestion: all pronouns in reference to God such as each "he" you have in your write should be spelled with the first letter capitalized.
