Janet Bingham Poet Rhyme

The World Man Created

THE WORLD MAN CREATED

Would there be a change in Heaven
in the stars of the sky
if the world looked for truth
in the integrity of the eye?

What if people took
responsibility for themselves
and started to be bold
instead of staying on the shelves?

Could we save this universe
by restructuring our lives,
by eliminating in this world
our unnatural drives?

We don't need more churches
to go sit in a pew.
If citizens became active
more peace might ensue.

Could we save this world
from destruction in the end
if we planted truth and hope
deep within the hearts of men?

Could we eliminate wars
by learning how to live
and teach how to love
by knowing when to give?

When God does return
to the world man created
will He find our accomplishments
worthy and feel elated?

Or will we be the people 
with their talents in the ground
and when the Lord returned
that was all that He found?
