In His Own Image

In His own image
God created man.
His desire of course
Was that man know His plan.

That created being
With a plan of his own,
Decided contrarily 
To what he was shown.

He still, to this day
Cannot understand
Why there’s so much failure
To that which he’s planned.

God proved long ago
That His way is best.
Yet man in his folly
Will still contest.
