A FLAW IN THE DESIGN?

The Sun up in the Sky
That shines so warm and bright
The Moon and twinkling Stars
That glow in the dark of Night.

This Earth so filled with Life
From blade of Grass to Man
All of those little things
Which are part of the Great Plan.

There’s some Master Architect
Who planned so carefully
Who made all those things that are
And all of those yet to be.

He had it laid out perfect
With each thing in it’s place
And He left us in control
His pride, the Human Race.

Now, the Sun up in the Sky
Dimmed by a smoky haze
We are using up the Ozone
And letting in some deadly rays.

Some of the Life here on Earth
Gone, made extinct by Man
As We wreak our havoc
Upon that Master Plan.

Seems the Planner in His Wisdom
Did not foresee it all
He didn’t realize Mankind
Would cause His own downfall.

He thought He had it perfect
With each thing in it’s place
But then, He left us in control
His pride, the Human Race.

the last stanza sums it up for me - it is well done

Hmmmmm, seems omnipotence isn't all it's cracked up to be.....
