The Sinful Nature Of Man! Poem by Denis Martindale

When God made every life on Earth,
He said that it was good,
For everything He made had worth
In Eden's neighbourhood...
But Adam sinned and God declared
The Earth, with him, was cursed
And since that day Man has despaired,
With sorrows well dispersed..
That's why the realm of Nature's sad,
For death comes to us all,
It takes the so-called good and bad,
The long, the short and tall...
Thus kings and queens and lords and earls,
In all their finery,
Are just the same as boys and girls
Who die in tragedy...
The creatures face the bitter cold,
The creatures face the heat,
They may be brave, they may be bold,
Yet time brings each defeat...
The tallest tree, the smallest flea,
Just like the dinosaur,
Must face its own fatality,
As if the final straw...
The oldest man, Methusaleh,
Endured until his end,
He wandered near, he wandered far,
On that you can depend...
But in this current age of ours,
We lack that stretch of years,
Because we don't have superpowers,
It's why we're prone to fears...
It's why the creatures strive to live
The shortness of the lives,
It's why they take and seldom give,
As long as each survives...
Yet Man runs headlong into war,
As if his nature must,
Borne of the settling of a score,
Of hatred and distrust...
Without God's love, he muddles through,
Takes victims to their graves,
There's just one hope for me and you,
The faith that Jesus saves...
