How Could You Poem by Jim Yerman

Everyone who was still alive...
on Earth…
that final day...

Turned their eyes up to the sky...
and to their Gods...did pray.

"Oh God! " they asked, "How could you...
condemn us to such a fate? "

"You condemned yourselves! " their Gods replied...
"When you turned our love...to hate."

"We gave you every opportunity
every chance
to turn your hate to love."
These were the final words anyone would hear
as darkness fell from up above.
