God makes, He breaks! <br />God gives, He takes! <br />What tragedy! <br />What mystery! <br />What suffering! <br />What faltering! <br />But Why God does, no one can know! <br />Why He allows? Why He says, ‘No’! ? <br />This is the world in which we live; <br />Nature will not her secrets give; <br />Nevertheless, we can’t complain; <br />There’s harmony in boon or bane; <br />Who dare question Almighty’s ways? <br />We live a life of numbered days! <br />Yet, God is kind and cares for us; <br />Without the Lord, we shall be worse; <br />Some things happen which we can’t take: <br />We never know what’s true or fake; <br />The science we know turns obsolete; <br />Our labor seems at times effete; <br />And yet, men say that science is God! <br />-Believing which is rather odd; <br />The earth has built her devices, <br />Those mitigate human vices; <br />The man who thinks he is all wise, <br />Is sooner, later cut to size; <br />Who dare defy the Lord’s commands <br />Will slip into the Devils’ hands; <br />We have a code and soul to keep; <br />If otherwise, bad things we reap; <br />Man cannot curb Nature’s freedom; <br />Harnessing it is but seldom; <br />God made the man better than beast, <br />Promising him a sumptuous Feast; <br />If he lives not a better life, <br />God gives him woes, aplenty strife; <br />Through Nature’s fury, God reminds <br />-‘Man is God’s toy, which He rewinds! ’<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tsunamis-god-makes-god-takes/
