A Cruel God

A

Creator sits in their throne,

Watching a man from

Above.

The man was

Simple.

With a simple

Life and ways.

They enjoyed simple

Things.

He had simple

Problems too,

But he was

Happy enough.

That is,

Until,

The creator

Noticed.

Old books say the

Maker race

Was kind.

Maybe that was

True.

Before.

Certainly not

Now.

This creator was

Cruel.

Sadistic, even.

And why not?

Was it not their

Right?

To be and do whatever they wish?

The creator

Took, the

Simple man and

destroyed his life.

Burned their

Pleasures, and made his

Conflicts unbearable burdens.

They did this and

More,

Until he finally

Forced the man

To climb a

Mountain and stand at it's cliff,

And sentenced him to fall.

Why?

We always

Wonder why.

But the

Simple of it

Is,

Why not?

Reviews

[Bacchus]

I don't always like "dark"
but I seem to like you...

I often wonder the fate of those who take their lives... if they are believing in Satan's lies... or
somehow it is written in some grander plan.... which you did a much better job portraying here.

...and oh the power of books- even to the simplest of men.
Nice, rich, makes me think kind of write.

[The Poet of Black Wings]

Again, making people think is my thing. Im glad you liked it.
