Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

What if God was all wrong

    Abraham dared to challenge the Lord
       not to destroy Sodom if fifty righteous men be found
    Alas and alack, that just wasn’t to be
       yet Abraham continued his fruitless go-round

    What if 45, 40, 30, 20, what if only ten
       But in Sodom there weren’t any fine men

    The Lord knew Abe’s quest was hopeless, but He played right along
       which got me to thinking, maybe the Lord was all wrong

    Yet Abraham saw nothing in it; he went back to his place
       And so too should I – though I earn not a tad of God’s grace

Daniel Henry Rodgers November 17, 2024 at 3:36 PM Hello Gershon, your poem is thought-provoking and deeply engaging! I love how you challenge the traditional narrative with Abraham's boldness and the exploration of faith. The way you weave doubt and contemplation into your verses invited me to reflect on my beliefs. Such a compelling piece. I know my faith in God means to trust him wholly. Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Paula Goldsmith November 17, 2024 at 11:18 AM I enjoyed reading your write. We can be wrong "But" God is Never Wrong...  Have a blessed day writing away.................

Kim Rodrigues November 17, 2024 at 10:49 AM I prayed for mercy for our country…thankfully we are not too far gone for God to intercede, neither should we get comfortable. It matters, it all matters, and there is meaning in our intercessions even when we don’t see the results we want. Blessings, dear one! Keep asking God. Remember Elijah, though he thought so, was never alone in his faith.
