Too Long Lord

TOO LONG LORD


Too long Lord,
Too long to repair your estate;
For how long shall you wait 
Watching your morning sweat going
Down the drain? Your inertia worries me.

When the seas run over their beaches,
Why Lord ? Why are you so indifferent ?
The damage of Tsunami, typhoon this,
Typhoon that; why are you not moved Lord ?

Too long to repair your cottage;
The global warming is threatening here:
The polar bears are becoming vagabonds,
Aquatics disappearing like morning dew,
Man’s house now man’s hell ;
 Lord, is your stool now forbidden ?
What is the profanity in Lord’s house
That warrants this abandonment ?

Are the angels reporting adequately?
Dinosaur is no more here,the households
Of lion and elephant are now minute, the tigers,
Pandas, Zebras, Giraffes , even Sharks will
Soon be living in books; what Lord ?  
What happens to your procreation machine ?

I say your inertia worries me,
Would you renege Lord ? There is time and season
For everything you said , but when weather
Changes on its immortal axis; what becomes of
Time and season !!! 

When will you restore the missing plants ?
Take the census of the botanic and realise
How desolate your garden has become.
Too long Lord, too long to repair your estate;
Adam and Eve have returned to Eden,
Haste up Lord lest you lose your estate to negligence.
