That first deal thrashed out. Fallen Angel 14

Just before he fell,
(after a kick from God)
They thrashed out a deal.

He sat at a table
with the big man
and talked
about man
his creation
in his form.

"What would you do if you were in charge?"
asked God

He thought for a moment......

"I would create death and destruction
man would murder man
cities would fall
man would want to rule the world
emulating you
and kill so many thousands of men
women and children
because they looked different."

"I would goad mother nature,
telling her that man is destroying her beauty
so that she screamed so loud a tsunami
destroys many towns,
earthquakes tear apart infrastructure
and volcanoes erupt wildly,
like the squeezed acne of her crust."

"I would invent a disease
and call it cancer
that grows inside man
and eats him
weakens him
all the time growing
until one day
man dies
and the cancer dies with him...
although it will survive the burning
as a reminder of my will."

God listened intently
nodding occasionally

"My lord, it would keep the numbers down"
he smirked
God thought for a moment
stroking his wispy beard
then said

"Okay, you can have Mondays"

I have decided to repost these as individual poems, they are taken from my poetry book I published on Amazon.

Some of the older members have already read these and I thank them
Just a quick fix to get my number of poems up. I was probably a bit quick publishing, some of these need more work.
