God Is Still Regreting
A hungry
lion
kills a prey
kills a prey
just to eat
just to
stay alive
stay alive,
and not die;
and not die.
No more, no less.
But man
acquires wealth
he does
not need,
he does
not need,
because of greed:
because of greed
avarice,
out of selfish reasons.
There was
this wealthy man;
this wealthy man,
while he was still alive,
while he was still alive,
his children
his children
started
selling
his property;
his property;
the man had
great wealth;
great wealth;
after
he died
he died
his business
died with him,
died with him
because
his children
his children
abandoned his business
and worked away
and worked away
How many people
benefited from his wealth?
None.
None;
Nobody.
Man oppresses
his fellow man
as a show of power,
but the animals
live in peace
in the jungle
in the jungle
all together
as one family
as one family.
Man, as a leader
is vicious,
is vicious,
cruel, greedy, oppressive...
oppressive...
oppressive...
he aquires
wealth
he does not need,
he does not need.
Man in his wickedness
has been
creating weapons
of mass destruction--
of mass destruction--.
God creates;
man destroys.
man destroys
God creates.
God is still
regreting
regreting
creating man,
yes,
God is still
regreting
creating man.
Yes, God is still
regreting
yes still
regreting.
