Word Plays & Stories.... Cathy Lorraine Bagley

make children cause a parent such unrivaled grief!

      Omnipresent Father got an epiphany: He thought of a new way

      to reward continuing disobedience since that groundbreaking day

      by using today’s space exploration age and its new wireless realm.

      Both had been toyed with by man but God tended the helm.

      Until now thought inconsequential games his children all played,

      technological inventions would now serve new purposes laid.

      The light bulb flickered brightly indicating what He must now do.

      Piteous cries will come from pundits banging heads without a clue.

      These teaching aids will help Father bring home the point -

      life’s continual creation’s a blessing He’ll no longer anoint

      His unruly lot without regard henceforth in observance today.

      Formerly set rules need tweaking making them easier to obey!

      Solid commandments stated have been historically written down.

      Humans borrowed from said scriptures loosely slopping them around

      ignoring solid truths in substitution for liquid desires pure and base.

      Such abominations caused a frozen grimace to inhabit Father’s face!

      Even though that fallen Angel masterminded mankind’s corruption,

      thankfully The Redeemer’s birth intercepted the heinous interruption.

      It solely provided a new threshold through which mankind could walk.

      While some people immediately entered, others gathered only to gawk.

      They claim comprehension while oblivious to the magnitude of this act

      lacking in foresight, unable to measure sustained ignorance’s impact.

      Mankind’s theologians have consequently taken a great deal of latitude

      self-appointed, offering endless interpretive and inspirational platitude.

      This word takes aim at the consciousness of women and men’s kind.

      It gets straight to business chiding, deriding those with a jellied spine;

      who steal from siblings, societies; snippets from scriptures and such.

      And even worse from Father. Now that’s simply awful and too much!

      So if God’s eyes are on this piece knowing that He sees all,

      may He rejoice jubilantly that this word had the gall

      to address an issue mostly abandoned these days

      because man’s kind is too caught up in selfish ways.

      God knows these words were no composed to offend.

      They needed releasing by any mode available to send

      them with angst through the universe - not exclusively to man.

      God wasn’t content needing to alter a once though solid plan…

      One laid down initially before the birth of His son.

      He had a priori knowledge before that life had begun

      that He’d die a literal death so His brethren could be

      saved from spiritual death; souls released and set free.

      Long after that generous sacrifice, God still will weep

      pacing, pondering endless nights without needing to sleep.

       “Why Children lovingly fashioned by My intricate molding

       have you grown in need of more than a scolding?”

      The word that now follows is provided in sections.

      Enjoy and absorb it; may it alter your directions

      acting as a compass when you prove conflicted inside.

       Choose to grow in what you know from God’s encyclopedic guide!

      It’s not hard to find a copy just google the word, “Bible”

      before acting harshly and being held singularly liable

      continuing to dishonor your Father any day after this

      might amount to receiving Hell’s welcoming fiery kiss!

      Pt II: Wrath

      The skies rumbled one day growing dark as night.

       An eerie blanketing resulted and nothing felt right.

       Had God questioned some things after taking a pause,

       perhaps, His human creation was unworthy of applause?

      Such a Father not proud of His children you see, Can make lots of trouble punishing endlessly! God questioned so much that it led to a pause deciding most definitely He’d champion a cause. He thought thinking longer and harder what to do to straighten out errors admonishing this crew. Proper parenting can be such a controversial matter, but sometimes tough love can only calm pitter patter of little feet told too often to rest snugly in bed, when curiosity peaks rearing disobedience’s head. Sometimes a Father has taken more than enough when kids just can’t keep their hands off His stuff! He fashioned the world giving them all that He should denying them only one thing but they misunderstood why He dangled it there for them to see but not touch. “How could Dad tease us so? Curiosity’s too darn much!” Ever since that great fall where kids fell from their state of innocence and purity now lascivious with hate, so mad He did only what a troubled Father could do and cursed His daughter, the serpent and His only son too! “My daughter I gave her the chore of propagation. Carrying babies will be difficult with little elation. I’ll make it so painful and some surely will die. My wrath will be deep and my punishment wide! Why punish her more than my son, was I wrong? I created him as her leader to be forever strong. Yet a flaw in his armor helped the temptress get in thus scrambling his mind and making him sin.”

       Their fall from Grace was aided you see

      by His enemy hissing around Eden’s tree.

       “I ask Myself often should I have granted lenience? After all, that fallen Angel lead them to disobedience.

       But no matter the prize, no matter the lure

       if they loved Me enough, if they loved Me for sure,

       they would have resisted the one thing forbidden by me

       and avoided tasting fruit from that corrupting tree!

       I thought they would be stronger, loving me more than any apple’s curiosity could ever allure. But I was wrong; Satan did more than just tempt. And now from My wrath, nary a one will be exempt!”

       He thought and He thought was there something to do

       about human creation and their not being true

       to their missions assigned molded up from his clay

       in their loyalties offered to their Father every way?

       God wondered had He punished His daughter more than His son?

       Space travel provided a means to level out what He’d done …

      He broke it all down starting one gender by one,
