All Part Of The Plan (Poetry)

Proverb: Where there is peace, God is

One day God looked out his window
sighed, and said ‘I need a break —
forever I’ve been stuck creating
it’s way past time for Heaven’s sake

that I enjoyed some relaxation
but where on earth’s a god to go
to get away from pesky people
for I’ll be devilled if I know ...’

And so he thought about the mountains
or some stretch of unspoilt beach
on an island bare and rocky
where the Wi-Fi couldn’t reach

He pondered idly on the desert
but though he had designed that, too
it really needed some amusements
because there wasn’t much to do

Deep sea diving was an option
but seeing oceans choked with junk
and slowly poisoned by Man’s rubbish
that bright idea was quickly sunk

Or perhaps the Arctic wastelands
might provide a sense of calm
except the threat of melting icecaps
tripped his End-of-World alarm

Scratching his wise head, God frowned
then mused awhile ... up popped a plan
he thought it over during supper —
a trick to play on foolish Man

Amazing really, quite how easy
scheming governments catch on
adopt ideas as though believing
they had the notion all along ...

God took a round-the-world vacation
(Mankind in panic — locked-down tight)
indulged in rest and meditation
no sign of pests to plague his sight
