Can God take a joke...?

Poem Artwork


 


For thousands of years and then some,


Man has reigned his power on earth,


Destroyed this, wrecked that, havoc did come,


His imprint left on every negativity,


Hope God does understand it was all meant in mirth…?J


 


Man so far did one thing right,


Destroy himself he did not yet do,


He wiped out animals put here by God,


Human beings killed for a political notion,


God only knows man is not worth the skin he resides in…


 


We hope God has a sense of humor,


Hopefully he can see we have never grown,


Hopefully he can laugh at what man has sown,


Man is not perfect, surely He by now knows that…


 


Does man need more time to attain perfection?


Or should God just smite his children,


Teaching them in one fell swoop,


How they did misbehave, and forget his second resurrection…

He must have a great sense of humor, or else he probably would have put an end to things a long time ago. But most of all he seems to have lots of love, lucky for us.

I'd say smite 'em. Should we put it to the internet, or let Simon Cowel decide?

All in all God knows that here is more good on this planet than evil. Because of the media we only read and hear the bad...good press!
I want a news media with only positive news and then I'll just bet more harmony would come into our world and God would be happier.
