God Has Priorities Poem by Professor Poetry Hound

God Has Priorities

Rating: 5.0


I was thinking about Noah's ark the other day.
No, not the implausibility of the whole thing.
I was thinking about the Great Flood that God created.
Specifically, I was thinking about what people were
thinking and saying as the flood waters rose. They
were probably shouting and screaming, "Help! Save us! "
That was back in the days when God talked a lot - you
know, before he pretty much clammed up. So when
everyone was scared and beseeching him for help, he
probably just said, "Nope."

And then he watched them drown.
Just like he watches people getting murdered and kids
getting raped, and doesn't do anything about it. When
was the last time you heard about a guy getting struck
down by lighting while he was raping a kid? Never.
And when the kids call out to him for help, his silence
and inaction are the same thing as saying, "Nope."

And yet football players regularly get down on a knee
and cross themselves after they score a touchdown.
So God helps people in sporting events but doesn't help
kids getting raped. I'm glad he has his priorities straight.
