An Alternate Reality

I watch my creation of 6 days.
I see their past actions and wonder.
I feel their emotions and contemplate.
I hear their cries and cringe with agony.

I touch fate and time is stopped on a busy scene of Earth.
I consider if I have failed in my design of my creation altogether.

I behold a woman with a knife to her child’s throat.
I behold a man staring and caring not for either of them or himself.
I behold a juvenile with a gun to her head in confusion.
I behold an elder disintegrating due to the onset of aging and disease.
I behold an infant with its thoughts screaming due to the pain of abortion.

I understand all of this and despise what I have done.
I have given them free will to choose as they like and desire.
I have given them my grace, mercy, and the blood of My Son to sanctify themselves.
I have allowed them power over evil forces with my aid and instruction.
I have offered them eternal life in a heavenly existence with me.

What have they done with all of this?
They have denied my name with contempt.
They have turned upon one another and others of my creation.
They have misinterpreted my instruction into rubbish.
They have forsaken their kin in mind and spirit.
They have destroyed and desecrated what I have given them.

I touch fate once again and time accelerates to a busy scene of Earth.

I behold a woman crying with the joy of her newborn child.
I behold a man standing beside them willing to give his life for both.
I behold a juvenile praying for the family’s future.
I behold an elder giving praise for the life that I have given them.
I behold an infant crying its first breaths of life with expected fear.

I touch fate a final time and know that I will never destroy my creation again.
I know that I have not failed in what I have done.

   I liked how you showed the world in a different perspective.  That's how the world is today.  I liked in your poem how it tells the two sides of a story, by saying there are many bad people in the world, but there are also many good people.
