Safe In The Palm Of God's Hand



God sits back and watches

with his glorious angels at his side

Satan quickly roams the earth 

waiting for the exact moment to strike

 

God secretly replicates all of mankind

and the entire universe with his power

he holds us all in the palm of his hand

leaving a carbon copy of us for Satan to find

 

dark clouds form all around

demonic voices scream in anger

sinister plans once written

are now set in motion across the universe

 

the stars collide instantaneously

meteors fall from Heaven

crashing and burning all around 

leaving no trace of our existence

 

tsunamis roar and tumble

waves hit hard against the shore

devouring everything in sight

the world stops breathing

 

nothing but thunderous silence

as the earth splits in half

we fall forever into darkness

skin melts off of our bones

 

nothing but black ashes remain

the devil smiles and laughs evilly

as his demons start to work

they build a new kingdom

 

made up of the hottest fires

straight from the heart of their master

once their world is built

they sit back and relax

 

evil grimaces form

as their world starts to quake

a powerful wave of water

comes crashing through

 

extinguishing the burning fires

God quickly forms a powerful sphere

encapsulating all of hell and its minions

the Devil screams throughout the galaxy

 

as his new world and home

comes crashing down upon him

God smiles and opens up his hand

showing him that we are alright

 

he sets the earth back into orbit

then takes the evil capsule

he crushes it against a mountainside

then watches and listens as they die

 

he knows that it's just a matter of time

before it all happens again

but it's just enough time for him

to devise another plan and save us all

    nicely written... but i agree with Calisto the devil isn't the root to all our evils... as we have evil in us all so do we have good.

    I also have to say that I liked your background. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing this with us and thanks for entering this into my contest.

    Loved this stanza. Such a true write.
    I'm not really religious, but I do believe...
    And this title was interesting, It caught my eye.

    lovely write.

  • What a comforting thought to be safe in the palm of His hand. Wonderful poem you have written here.

    I'm glad that as Einstein said, "God does not play dice with the universe" He could do frightful things with mankind if He so wished. However, He is a God who loves all of creation and will keep his promise when it is due time. Satan and all that are evil will be terminated, the earth will be restored to perfection ... any of mankinds dead who are found to be worthy will be restored to life...

  • Hmm, a very unusual and unique story, hon.. I think it was a little too short and too quick and had far too many pat answers for the things that are occurring around our world today.. It cannot all be 'blamed' on someone or something else..

    Someone once said there is a bit of Satan in all of us, well, there is a bit of God in all of us too, but I don't think He's going to save us, I think we have to do it ourselves..
    But I still liked the story very much..

    Wow! This is a beautifully penned piece! Such a fine write for something that just 'popped into your head' Beautifulness! I love the message within. Great work!


  • Bro, you have penned here a fantastic write.
    You have left a lot for the mind to ponder on.
    Actually your words sent chills down my spine, simply because this could actually happen, and with some of what you have written is happening now, and that's scary.
    I don't know why this popped into your mind, but I believe god puts thoughts into our minds and hearts and it is up to us to spread the word.
    I agree with the coment left by Swtpoetryman, he has stated what i was thinking myself.
    I always enjoy reading your words, and they always linger in my mind for days after.
    You have a fantastic talent for expressing yourself, and I love reading you, and I am ever so blessed to have a friend and (AP Brother) as wonderful as you.
    I wish you much love and happiness Bro
    love always...
    Your angelic sis Anne♥

  • very awesome poem, well done.

  • you do very well when something just poppes in your head.
    remember that God always has a plan, he will never let us down, even when we let him down.
    the devil stands no chance.
    i just added this to my favorites, because you are such an awesome poet, who amazes me always

    loveandblessings2u & yours always
    love ya,
    your friend

    Every day - come what may - God kicks the Devil out of town - and down into the fiery fires of Hell!

    he knows that it's just a matter of time
    before it all happens again
    but it's just enough time for him
    to devise another plan and save us all

    It is just a matter of time before the Devil and his minions come back to do their evil deeds - as good needs bad - as bad needs good - so us mere mortals can tell the difference. I thought provoking piece, Brother - that would make a fine sermon come Sunday and that fit the background to a T. Thanks for sharing - as always, Bro!
    Peace & Love!
    Earl.
