God's wrath,
will be brought down amongst you.
You who do not pray, do not fast,
you who do not bend, will not last.

God's fury,
will be visited upon the world.
Earth full of vile, sinful beasts,
wallowing in the glut of evil feasts.

God's disdain,
most like falls elsewhere.
to they who wish death on others,
like children and unsaved mothers.

God's attention,
to our fleeting, petty lives.
Is far less intense, then and now,
than our self-importance would allow.

God's love,
for this ball of ants.
Must transcend our pitiful needs,
for vengence, death, and holy deeds.

God's Son,
if he was the true one.
Lived, partied, taught, and cried,
to teach mercy's love before he died.

God's hand,
will not come down to smite.
His essence is pure love and grace,
why would he erase us from earth's face?

Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.

Interesting poem.  Very powerful use of words.  Very well written.

"His essence is pure love and grace" How
wonderful are these words and this poem!
Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

I like this!

But honestly He will smite, and some will be blotted out to never be again.
That will certainly happen in the end.

I really like your style and subject, but I wonder about the last stanza as a belief. God cannot ignore sin. He can hate it or forgive it, but ignoring it would be far from His nature. Maybe I'm misinterpreting your words.
