God's Holy Plan

Waiting on God



I often wonder if primitive man,
Ever pondered upon God's holy plan.
As he gazed on stars high in the sky
Did he to himself, often wonder why.

Why am I here, what is the twist?
For what purpose, do I exist.
Or was he too busy trying to survive,
Battling the odds to stay alive.

But as time rolled on, man still wondered why,
As knowledge grew great and thinking wide,
The same old question's plagued so many men
Who have been so clever, and great with pen.

Greater minds than mine, have asked the same,
When thinking on a higher plane,
Giant thinkers such as these, possessing many high degrees,
Their reasoning has come to nought, as in vain the answers sought.

Peasants, scholars, savants, all, so many of the greatest minds.
Have tried this question to unwind.
And found as I have all to true , the answers not there for me and you.
So live life daily as best you can, til God reveals his Holy Plan.

God's or Gods's Holy Plan are indeed as Robert has said...in a constant state of flux as to not stagnate BUT also then again just perhaps there is no one grand plan for us to understand..."life is a chessboard and mankind; foolish lot, are only the pawns!"
Very Nicely and Well Written!

Till God reveals His Holy Plan?

" As flies we are to the wanton gods,
They kill us for their joy."

So Shakespeare answered your question.
The self-important man has always assumed that the universe was created for his pleasure; but all was created to give pleasure to the Creator. Don't you think it is more sensible not to assume that our lives were gifts of pleasure, but rather a duty of entertainment?
I liked this poem; but I need understand why you broke it into stanzas.
Best,
Nevine

the holy plan is always in a state of flux so that it does not become stagnant... when we can handle it, it reveals itself...

very well written!
