GOD'S ANGER

GOD'S ANGER

He threw down the gun;
He hadn't meant to kill
But she pushed him to it
And her blood did spill.

Frightened, he ran!
Went as far away as he could;
Thought he had escaped,
And lived as best he could.

Things of the past
He had to divest;
A clean start for him
Seemed to be best.

He had not counted
On God's anger and so
Was taken aback
When winds started to blow.

Then the skies opened,
The thunder raged on;
One sharp flash of lighting
And his life was gone.

"Thou shall not kill!"
A commandment not kept;
God's anger avenged her
And all in Heaven wept.

For to lose a soul
Who committed such sin;
Was one could-be angel
Who wouldn't get in.
