Productivity of the Human Race

When I think of what humanity has created
Second only to Creator's creation
I'm amazed at our productivity

The phenomonal industial era
Has given way to more amazing
Technological advances

We can't help but be awed by our creativity
We are undoubedtly an industrious people
After all we are in the image of a Creator

The light of the moon is only a reflection
of the sun where it gets light from
otherwise it is dark and colorless

This is how it is with Creator we get our light
from Him, if we do not reflect His light
we are dark, dismal, and colorless

That's why it is so perplexing to me
A people of deep hopes, dreams, ideas
Based on goodness,love, sharing, caring

Has yet to become civilized!

Successful in everything but relationships!

We not only war with each other the world over
But within our own homes and work-places
Turning our words into swords

Still uncivilized behavior! There is no excuse!


This is what makes us our own worst enemy!

Your images here are a powerplay of the senses and the way we percieve living...conflict. Animals do it...birds do it...even an artists colors...do it. We either mesh or we don't. Okay! You've got this blonde thinking and that can be a dangerous thing!

You express powerful truths via your verses here, Eileen. We really do not seem to "evolve" along the important lines. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Always has been, and what will change as we change our preceptions to new ways and forgiving all that has been.

Excellent and timely write, Sister!

May everyone who serves our Creator, turn on their Love Light, and shine, baby, shine........until He returns!

There may not be world peace, but He gives us inner peace that passes all understanding!

Good one, Eileen!
Love, Rhonda

Absolutely, Eileen, yoi have hit on it with this clever bit of writing. It is like I say to people who utter the "Why does there have to be war?" I say the himan family cannot even get along with each other, never mind whole nations who speak a different tongues and look different, we are forever and always will be at each others throats. Check the divorce courts these days if you don't believe me.

You are right - with all the gifts the Creator has given us, technology, intelligence & the like, why do we find it so hard to be civilized, and be at peace in this world?

Bravo, my Friend, you have said it all!

Spot on, Eileen, the Creator gave us intelligence, and we've wasted it. He gave us loving hearts, and they've turned cold with apathy and hate. Sad. Powerful, thought provoking writing here, thank you!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

There is much wisdom and light being shared now on Authors Den. Something powerful is happening - I feel honored to be associated with those like you Eileen.

No ... mankind has never truly been civilized. Maybe for short moments a glimmer of the Creator has shown through certain individuals or powerful works of beauty created for His glory, but it has never lasted.

I feel a pressure that I've never felt before. One can only imagine what it really is, and what is on the near horizon.
