Revising the Book of Life

1.
Rumor has it on heavens above,
Among the angels’ divine sphere,
That God after very much though  
Decided in man’s life to interfere.     

2.
For He has observed Man’s mistakes,
That lately, too many came to be,
To endanger the whole of creation
Act with which God can never agree.

3.
So, the Lord has most recently chosen,  
The book of life before long to reprint 
Revising certain of its very old chapters 
While others out will leave, He did hint.  

4.
The concern of humans is now to know      
Which chapters the book will not contain, 
Which are going to be, somehow, revised 
And which intact will forever remain? 

5.
What was heard through the vine though,   
It was Man’s huge and unbearable vanity 
That made our almighty Lord and creator 
Finally, to exclude the chapter on humanity.  

6.
The reason our God in His infinitive wisdom
Reached such an unexpected for Mankind conclusion, 
Is the fact that Man during his reign on earth
Has hurt our planet with his insensitive intrusion.

7.
It might still be time for Man overall to be saved,    
If he started correcting his many mistakes soon,
Beginning by respecting life and the whole planet,  
And stop behaving as a dim-witted buffoon.

* According to a UN report, We are in an era where 
climate change isn’t some kind of future hypothetical but a present concern, and nobody is going to be untouched by it, therefore, measures must be taken immediately to save ourselves and the planet.

Vijay Pandit October 20, 2022 at 6:15 AM BIG congrats on reaching a BIG milestone my friend. A fair warning you convey to mankind in this poem. Hope the world is listening! Demetrios Trifiatis October 20, 2022 at 4:53 PM Thank you very much for your gracious visit and comment, and for the congratulations, my friend, Vijay. God bless you!

Tom Cunningham October 20, 2022 at 2:18 AM Well said Demetrios, I often see industrial chimneys belching out toxic fumes and wonder what harm is being done, but mankind does not really care, profits before safety. Razing forests to the ground to make way for building I think is a recipe for disaster, we're already seeing the effects of climate change but not enough is being done to combat it. God help the generations that follow us. Congratulations on reaching another milestone. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis October 20, 2022 at 3:19 AM Dearest Tom, I am happy to see that we think alike! Unfortunately, as you say, most of people put their interests first. This, of course, would lead Mankind, sooner or later into catastrophe. Thank you for your analytical comment and congratulations. God be always with you, my friend!
