WHAT MAKES GOD SAD?

The wonders of the world, for us he made,

A cool felt breeze on a Summers day.

Mountains that stand so tall up above,

Oceans and rivers, that which does live in them.

What makes god sad is the hatred towards one another,

The destruction of land for a dollar put in hand.

Thinking of only ones self, perhaps not lending a helping hand,

Murder, the taking of a life, this wasn’t his plan.

Pollution of lakes and streams, toxic waste not dreamed,

The air being destroyed, does anybody even care.

Abuse of all that is here, what man values is not what he shared,

What makes god sad should bring shame to this world.

  1. Thank you for sharing your thoughts through this poem. I agree. These things, i.e, mankind’s whole attitude, make God sad but He has been warning us from the beginning all the way through to the New Testament and all that time He has been showing us the way out of this muck and mire that mankind has gotten itself into.
