God made everything real,
And he called it good.
But then man changed the deal
"To be as it should".
.
God created black and white
And added shades of gray.
Man created wrong and right
And made work out of play.
.
God created happiness and joy
While man looked for things that might annoy
After God had the Universe built
Man decided to add nagging guilt
.
God created Life to be a school
But man is afraid to look a fool
So while learning how best to choose,
Man labels our mistakes a sin.
But if you are afraid to lose,
You probably will never win!
.
God's world has a natural balance --
An equilibrium of forces.
Man refuses to enjoy the dance
And just wants to saddle the horses.
.
Inner peace comes from being in the flow
But man holds tight the reins and won't let go!
God made Love the universal law
But man had to judge and find a flaw
.
God created one world;
Man created another.
God's world is an Eden;
Man's is a big bother!
.
God created Heaven;
Then Man created Hell.
These worlds are different
As you can plainly tell.
So tell me in which of
These two worlds do you dwell?

It seems we have made many bad choices, and God's world is forever marred from all of them.
This is great, Mike!!
