When God saw human love grow stark,
Our forecast was cloudy and dark.
“The beasts I will spare
Of each just a pair.”
Then hope rained, “Noah, build an ark.”
When Mary anointed Our Lord,
Judas grew angry and roared.
But Jesus approved
Of her efforts to soothe
And welcomed his tired reward.
Did God create our struggle with greed?
Craft the cancer of want versus need?
For clearly free will
Is no magic pill
Meant to cure this disease when we breed.
There once was a Pharisee named Saul,
Who persecuted Christians with gall.
Then God struck him blind
And opened his mind,
So he could recognize his true call.
Before we got kicked out of Eden,
There were no worries about feeding.
Then one apple bite,
Made hunger our plight;
Forever to toil with planting and weeding.
There once lived a farmer named Cain
Who offered up to God some grain.
But his brother won God’s praise
So Cain slayed him in a craze
Forever cursed to till in vain.
People would beg Jesus to heal
And transform mere morsels to meals.
He did all this and more
For the rich and the poor
When he sensed their faith was for real.
As Jesus hung dying on a cross,
He looked down on a Roman coin toss.
He said his goodbyes
And let out a sigh
Knowing death was a win not a loss.
A woman was going to be bludgeoned
By a crowd self-righteous and judging.
Jesus silenced the din
Drawing dusty old sins,
And scattered every last curmudgeon.
There once was an angel who fell
For indulging dark ego’s spell.
He got quite a jolt
When he led a revolt
Forever, from heaven, expelled.
Whether we see God as mom or dad
Doesn’t likely make our parent mad.
It’s just that we call
As daily we fall
That would make our creator so glad.
Claiming that God is found in one holy book
Is the act of a selfish, closed-minded crook.
For what our God taught
Would all be for naught
If we fail to see Him wherever we look.
