Message from God

             Message from God.
Just what do you think you're playing at?
I think that I should have my say
I granted you three score years and ten
And that length of life  runs out today

I know they're treating you with medicine
That was never my type of plan
It seems that my way has become a sin
Now my world is ruled by man.

Do you want to live untill you're a burbling heap
Where your body's given up years ago
Why not relax and let your soul go off to sleep
Trust me, I'm the Lord so I should know.

It isn't extended living that has left me in the lurch
You humans have created many sins
You have given up coming to my Church
This is where the trouble all begins.

I have the feeling that religion is coming to an end
And humanity is something of the past
I can't believe that humans have so many years to spend
As the Lord I'm afraid I am left aghast.

Hi Rod, I loved your message from god, my friend. Yes I can see that religion is coming to an end. But it will be replaced by the real fining of God' The inner search. I left religion a long time ago, yet with the inner search I am more at one with God since I ever was before. My life now is brim filled with joy. At seventy six I am happier than I ever was. I enjoyed reading your poem, my friend....Peter

Sorry I haven't answered your review but I guess I have been busy with visits to the hospital and Chemotherapy, seems to be working more gently than they said it might. Fingers crossed As you say our age, I am 79, were brought up to Sunday school, morning and evening church sessions as a important way of life. Hey Ho, times change so I guess we have seen he last of religion. take care Rod.
