Principles of Protection Or Destruction

I am born for a reason,
To protect/destroy,
All those perfect/imperfect things.

Look at those children,
Such angels/devils,
They have so much,
To share/corrupt with the world.

Look at nature,
All it's wonders/wrath,
As if we live in paradise/hell,
With everything we could wish/hate.

Look at humanity,
We are so caring/selfish,
We help/kill everyone and anyone,
Like the angels/devils we were.

Let's hope whichever path I choose,
I will never regret.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
