Our Creator Giveth
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
Our Creator of us all,
Giveth.
The Creator of us all,
Quick to do so also...
Within the bat of an eye.
Taketh awayeth.
Done to observe this witnessed.
Without threats to warn or time to prepare,
For the mysterious ways...
In which direction God chooses to move.
Or who God next will pick,
To teach a lesson no one forgets.
Coming to a reality,
Few...
Need not try or attempt,
The finding of time for them wasted to refuse!
When The Creator giveth.
To taketh awayeth!?
There has to be a test involved.
Overdue and needing it solved.
Or...
If not?
Ignoring examples placed everywhere to see.
Openly as a tree.
And still have what The Creator makes,
Continually to go on disbelieved?
To delude as a mistake The Creator has made.
Proves,
How people take life to live for granted.
With accepting,
Whatever it is they choose to do to others...
These same people can not and will not,
Connect what God does to show...
Themselves as they are to be.
No.
The self anointed self righteous ones.
Assume themselves to be exceptions.
Everywhere they are.
Assuming the spreading of their nonsense.
As if comparing themselves to apples.
Twinkling in the eyes,
Of whoever beholds their pretentiousness.
And,
As a reminder...
Apples don't fall that far from a tree,
They had been nurtured to grow up on.
Whether some are and can be delicious.
While others are bitter and rotten to the core!
Leaving that sour taste difficult to ignore!
