Tempt Not Thy Creator

Titanic unsinkable - guaranteed

     Another example of mankind's greed

          Man dared nature - man lost

               At a most dreadful cost

                    "Tempt not thy Creator" man should heed

Susan Mills Date: 6/21/2010 11:46:00 AM Greed seems to be overpowering our nations at time leaving the masses to fend for themselves in breadlines and soup kitchens. Yes, God is all powerful and Almighty. God has the final say. Love, Susan Login to Reply
