Well. If politicians would stop posturing and express "climate change" from your divine perspective there would be far more hope in my heart that mankind would truly begin to realize that our own "free will" is poisoning us, and our world...
God does not seek to destroy us. It seems we're "hell-bent" on doing that to ourselves!

We are so fortunate to have a benevolent Master.
Comment from bob cullen
This is both brilliantly written and a stark warning to mankind. We've been provided with all we need, but sadly we seek more. Obviously, we don't learn from the mistakes of the past. We are greedy and we demand more. Let's hope we learn one day. And let's hope one day we learn to show gratitude.

Hi Jim,
This shows us how mankind has misused what God provided us.
I have some possible edits to maybe make it read more smoothly in areas.
I think it can be Birds of all colors and their songs filled the air.
It could be oceans have been over fished instead of fishes.
For grammatical correctness, it should be has 'driven' some crazy.
I like the little bit of hope at the end that maybe we can see what we've done to make Mother Nature mad and appease her so we can go back
to 'normal' weather.
Keep writing and stay healthy

God will have to step in and thereby prevent the eventual destruction of all life. This is so because there are far too many, and it will remain so until the end. There are far too many who will continue to seek their selfish ends. Satan's influence is not even recognized by those who refuse to recognize God's authority over their lives. They mistake free will for license, never realizing there is consequence for wrong actions, influenced by bad decisions. I pray for my brothers and sisters and the punishment soon to descend upon an unrepentant world.

I am very honored by your generous stars and strong validation, thank you so much for the prayers for those who have not yet found the Light of Truth.

These are very powerful, a great series of poems that she'd light on what God's word means and how it affects our life and feelings. I struggle sometimes to understand what His plan is, but your words make me feel better.

Boogienights, the fact that you are honest about your struggle shows that your heart, mind and soul are seeking wisdom truth and hope, thanbk you for being a shining example for all.
Comment from Bill Schott
This free verse, Seasons of Faith 11, runs through man's fall from grace and the resulting struggle to tear and dig a life away from the rest of the world.

An excellent poem detailing the downfall of man and the results of this -nature is suffering and groaning because of man's ineptitude. Very well written, and very thoughtful, but a sad poem.

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Many have asked if Eve did not partake of the fruit of knowledge, would she and Adam ever learned about birds and bees humanly? Until, then they rove about unclad, and only afterwards fashioned fig leaves to cover their nethers. Just thinking.

A gentle way to describe the Fall. It was all so perfect and then everything fell apart but God never gave up on us and He still made a way for us to return to fellowship with Him.
