What On Earth Is Happening? Poem by Denis Martindale

Is this God's time to start again? When God must shout, "ENOUGH! "?
When God sees Mankind as insane, such that some spurn His love?
When rich men dominate the poor as governments grow worse?
And every person has some flaw when each life bears a curse?
And what about the wars God sees? The loathsome killing spree?
The misery of casualties? The awesome tragedy?
And Nature damaged at Man's hands and bombs hid out of sight?
And what about the Devil's plans? Who's safe by day or night?
When God sees Mankind as insane, such that some spurn His love,
Is this God's time to start again? When God must shout, "ENOUGH! "?
