Poem – 7
WE TOOK FROM HIM
From generation to generation
We took His water
Gallon and gallon nonstop
From reservoirs, lakes and rivers.
From generation to generation
We took His animals, birds and fishes
From the jungles, skies and seas
For our insatiable craze for food.
From generation to generation
We took His herbs, fruits and vegetation
At the forests floors or Hills slopes
To supplement the food we partake.
All for free without question ask
Should not we be grateful?
Let there be a World’s Public Holiday
To thank God for all His sustenance!
HE IS THE OWNER
His rivers, His seas and His Oceans
He is the sole Owner
Sharing His ownership with no one
And we killed one another in vain to own them.
His lands whether countries or islands
He is the sole Owner
Sharing His ownership with no one
And we killed one another in vain to own them.
His skies including that in the outer space
He is the sole Owner
Sharing His ownership with no one
And we killed one another in vain to own them.
Are we shameless without dignity?
Claiming ownership when none exist
Instead of sharing we kill one another
Committing atrocities when He is benevolent.
HIS MERCY PRECEDES HIS ANGER
Throughout the History of Mankind
There were always that killing sprees
Whether in war, fights or melees
Millions may have died because of this.
Throughout the History of Mankind
There was always that insatiable greed
Whether in minerals, ownerships and others
Millions may have died because of this.
Throughout the History of Mankind
There was always that hatred and spiteful feelings
Due to jealousy, inheritance, parental loves and others
Millions may have died because of this.
All these events unfurled before Him
Yet He punishes none
Because His Mercy precedes His Anger
Mankind should take this generosity and REPENT!
