And there appeared <br />without a warning <br />a break within the clouds <br />that had remained, <br />so heavy and so low <br />all week, as all HIS people <br />went on about the business <br />of burying those <br />who had defied, <br />with loudness and <br />determination, <br />their fellow man <br />and now their God. <br />Committed treason, <br />thus forsaken <br />their holy Being. <br />Abandoned Deity. <br /> <br />And God then did, <br />with thunderous <br />unprecedented <br />and harsh and deadly <br />force, akin to evil <br />and reminiscent <br />of Satan's work. <br />He had destroyed <br />and quickly rained <br />the angels of his death <br />upon the doubters <br />and the infidels. <br /> <br />As he appeared <br />a yellow light, <br />an image without shape, <br />within the clouds, <br />his face unseen, <br />but well possessed of voice, <br />and speaking to <br />the people just below: <br /> <br />'Your own iniquities <br />have seperated <br />you, the people <br />from myself, <br />your God. <br />It is your sins <br />which have <br />betrayed <br />and hidden <br />from you all <br />my holy face. <br />I will not hear you, <br />but cast you into <br />the lake of fire, <br />There shall be punishment <br />so everlasting <br />and all destruction <br />be heaped upon you.' <br /> <br />And thus, his will was done <br />as well it needed to be done. <br /> <br /> And in the end, <br />there was one child, <br />left standing. <br />Alive and without harm <br />from God's own wrath. <br />And he seemed utterly, <br />and strangely unafraid, <br />and then he spoke: <br />'God, you have brought <br />no great tidings of your joy <br />to your own people. <br />And thus you are <br />perhaps to you <br />but not to me <br />my God.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-faceless-god/
