A Divine Puzzle

Our civilization sits
where man has placed it
on the edge of a yawning abyss
waiting that one foolish action
that will topple it into
brotherhood with those that
have been and are no longer;
but God, the Father
sits
and wonders why his people
choose to ignore the message
he sent with his chosen son –
how loving all men as brothers will,
will soon bring
an end to destruction so
peace shall at last exist.

Thoughts written following an evening church service at Delta Park Baptist Church, Cambridge, Ontario.  May 1971
