Glorious Beginning, Mad End

And

from clay

God fashioned man

into a beautiful masterpiece

breathing life with a soul and intellect

the greatest creation and highest in evolution

capable of standing tall to achieve the purpose of life

Our loving God laid simple ethical rules to guide the man

To make him His own image to be loving, wise and compassionate

Sadly man became a restless bundle of base sensations and feelings

always in lust, ready to procreate and to kill the child in mother’s womb

in his constant greed for more and more and passion to live life to the fullest

he chose to disregard the boundless love of God and His commandments

In sheer ungratefulness he violated every sensitive balance in nature

Destroying green forests and producing global warming gases

Turning arable lands to deserts depriving food to fellowmen

Killing innocent men in mindless wars and mad violence

Wanting to control new areas of natural resources

man is marching inexorably to his final doom

moving away from God and His Kindness

surely earth would soon be destroyed

bringing death in its wake, man

returning to dust whence he

came. A very good start

yet with a sad end

indeed.
