Infinite Wisdom... Poem by Eric Cockrell

Infinite Wisdom...

Rating: 5.0


'end of times, end of days,
only the strong will survive.
call it justice, the American way,
call it the great lie! ...'

we have made an incredible
mess of this world...
wars, greed, pollution,
poverty, enslavement,
human rights abuses,
hunger, sickness, homelessness...
that's on us!

you want me to believe...
that God, in his infinite wisdom,
is going to come and bail us out...

what if God, in his infinite wisdom,
showed up with a shovel,
and a wheelbarrow...
and said:

'you made this mess,
you clean it up! '

teaching the children
to take responsibility
for their actions...

hmmn...
just a thought!

A great poem, what a shock it would be if god did come down and said clean it up. we'd spend the next thousand years cleaning. A great write.

Nice poem. I don't believe God is going to come and bail most people out..quite the opposite actually! ! and if you are sick of just seeing the surface of the evil down here..can you even imagine what His Eyes have witnessed? ? ! ! So, can You blame Him for wanting to wipe it off the face of the earth? ?
