Paradise, The Argument Poem by Chime Justice Ndubuisi

Many among us have argued:
If God had destroyed, once a world
Filled with crimes, disobedience, anarchy, greed
And men of unusual sizes, with a flood,
And fostered a new and more worthy race
Containing few who honestly sought His face
And eventually could not keep up with His pace,
But lost His abundance grace
And was faced with a confused language
That threatened their unity and lineage.
After the great deluge and persistent rage,
Came destruction by fire and sulphur: Lot's page,
Followed by the creation of a new nation
Of people, and oath of allegiance sworn
Who could not live up to expectation
And was destroyed! Is it a tradition?
Where one creates and destroys,
Creates and destroys!
Where God creates and destroys,
Creates and destroys!
If you ask me, God should leave
The world as it is now. He
Should be consumed with making life
Better for us. We don't need the paradise,
We have everything we'd ever need,
We don't need money or gold,
He should just leave the world,
And give us eternal life instead;
We don't want to hear that anything died:
We don't need any better reward!
Besides, we are not guaranteed
That even the ‘kingdom' is not fated
The same as the other worlds
Once purged of sin and other evils
But was later destroyed by elements
Which were made by God's own hands!
