Well thought through poem about God. Your thoughts are spot on - and we sometimes forget that we are accountable, and will pay - unless in His grace He forgives. Your rhymes are smooth as is the metre. Best wishes for your entry.

Thanks, Wendy. God is not happy.
Comment from Ritsal
Wow. That packs a powerful punch in a single work. I believe you should change Moslems to Muslims. That was the only thing I noticed that could be tweaked. Have a blessed evening.
Best wishes,
Rita

Thanks, Rita. Moslem is a variant of Muslim. I will make the change. Thanks for the heads up on that.

You are very welcome!
Comment from Patty Palmer
This is very well written. The rhythm and rhyme are great. I love the conversation between this person and God and God is telling him that He isn't going to stand back and keep watching the mess that we're making. He vows that he will let us all go and start another human race elsewhere. God job!

Comment from Teri7
This is a very interesting and very well written poem about a conversation with God about earth and how we as people have destroyed so much. Very good descriptive words that make so much sense. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri

Comment from Boogienights
I really loved this poem and God's thoughts on the condition of our world. I really hope that's not what he's thinking because if it is...we're doomed! This is a terrific contest entry, thanks for sharing. :)

A good entry for this contest, good luck. If God is only giving us a year or two, we are doomed! For your thought about not mixing religion and politics, I just add an AMEN! Good job.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. I agree. God has to be upset with what He sees. I continually pray for His intervention with this mess we're in.
Just take a look a look one planet out." (I am not a poet and hesitate to question poets, but is there supposed to be two 'a look'?)

Thanks, Barb. That typo should be corrected. I don't know how it happened.
Comment from Sherry Asbury
What a fine poem...nicely metered and rhymed. It makes a fine entry for this contest. I very much like your Biblical references and the presenting of the nations at "almost" war. Your end verse is quite a stretch, but unique and brilliant thought. Best of luck in the contest and hope He has a change of heart.

Thanks, Jen. Maybe we'll have to go back to Mars.
Comment from BLACKTITANIUM86
You paint a very vivid picture about your love for God. Not to mention the fact that you are creative enough to bring emotions out of your readers. And that takes skill. For, that's what poetry is all about. Touching the soul. Keep Writing.
