The Merciful God Poem by Louis Santhana

He was a dreaded, notorious thief
Once in panic, went to the God's door-step
God was out in the garden site
watering the plants with a hose-pipeline.

The thief came running and fell at His feet
confessing his sins and wept at length
begging for his mercy and to make him refined
on his return, he promised to live as a saint.

But, God was hesitant and returned to His room
to consult his PC on the truth of his claim
The thief was alone watering the rest of the plants
hopefully waiting to win his merciful grants.

There in the third row, there was a dense orchard
all the leaves were 500 currency rupee notes
but he could not resist his age-old temper
tampered the leaves at will and kept on to plunder

God reappeared on the porch and waved him to His close
'YOU ARE FORGIVEN - GO AND LIVE IN PEACE..
LEAVE YOUR CLOTHES HERE AND PUT ON NEW ONES
AS A SIGN OF YOUR REDEMPTION FROM ALL YOUR SINS'

The thief was shocked and took to his heels
without thanking God, as the thief was in haste
Shouted back at God …..
' YOU ARE ANYWAY MERCIFUL AND GOOD…
I SHALL COME BACK AGAIN ONCE THE MONEY IS SPENT
ONE MORE SIN, …...I WISH...YOU WOULD NOT MIND INDEED…
