Planet Earth "as Described By the Traveler"

There are many peoples and planets Throughout the vast universe Though during my travels I haven’t seen any That can compare to the peoples of earth It amazes me to see an entire planet of beings With intelligence such as theirs that are so Petty, so unbelieving, and so filled with hate It’s as if they don’t care and are completely unaware Of the judgment that they will one day have to face No matter if they believe that they’ll have to or not Jesus Christ will one day - return to this earth To deal successfully with - the entire human race I wonder how a beautiful blue world such as this planet Harbors such sin, so much hate, and the people so cruel Instead of being brotherly, loving and helping one another They appear to be greedy, selfish, and unbelieving fools Mankind all, comes from one single place No matter the planet, no matter the race Created in the Father’s own awesome image - alas The peoples of earth are in serious peril of being erased I wonder why they cannot just get alone When the entire planet belongs to everyone I wonder why one group feels like they want to own it all When surely they have to know that this will be man’s downfall From the moment beings are born into this world living To be here only for a moment that is indeed fleeting By God’s unconditional love, His mercy and His grace To enjoy but a second the magnificent beauty of the human race As I travel through this planet known as earth looking at Its awesome shores, its green forests, and its beautiful blue skies I, “the traveler” pass by quietly and without any interference For mankind alone has made come to pass - its own - deserving demise!
