POISON:

By God´s almighty hand, to mankind duly given,

Everything man needed, for goodwill to be driven,

Man´s greed & vanity, not to mention cruel deeds,

Spat like serpent´s venom, blighting life´s new seeds.

Harsh tongued words & harder hands, unfortunately rule,

War, hunger, flora & fauna, results of man so very cruel,

Slurping his sorry egotism, from chaliced, cold & icy lip,

 God now looking down, upon earth´s one & only blip.

The injected insect´s venom or serpent´s spittle spat,

Chemical, viral, toxins, germ, from rabid beast or bat,

Belladonna, oleander, fungi, all from nature´s phial,

One poison worse than hemlock, hatred spewed & vile.

Yet God´s almighty presence, not blames or ever spurns,

No matter the fact, that our mankind, never ever learns,

 I put my hands together, “Our Father, forgive me & Amen”

Upon my bended knees I pray, for enlightenment of all men.
