And God did know <br />the time would come <br />when all the birds were silent <br />and rivers stopped. <br />When flowers died <br />and overnight <br />the earth went mad <br />and showered all <br />with pure abandon. <br /> <br />And man did never know <br />how he had plundered <br />and happily exploited <br />all that had been bestowed <br />upon his soul to follow him <br />throughout a modest life. <br /> <br />It was the seventh day, <br />when God discovered <br />that he had failed to add <br />the spark of sheer appreciation <br />to those who would not be <br />inside the Paradise called Eden. <br /> <br />Regardless of the heavy blame <br />He never changed his mind <br />and locked the gates of Paradise <br />to all his humans, for all times. <br /> <br />Yet humans still persist, untiringly <br />to search in desperate hope <br />for one small key. <br />In vain.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-s-error/
