Crocodile Tears & Buffalo Wings
by Marilyn Schnepp Have you ever heard A sparrow complain That robins sport red vests While his suit's mundane? And surely the burro Has legitimate gripes: When he says he "feels drab Next to a zebra with stripes." And what about the camel With his crooked spine; Surely you've heard him Whimper and whine? Have you heard the buffalo... Moan and cry As he begs God for wings So he can fly? Or the beaver wishing For a bushy tail, While the bushy-tailed fox Wants a house like a snail? No, my friend, Nature's quite content; It's only Human Beings Who weep and lament. We alter our hair color, Tan or whiten our skin, Then starve ourselves silly Just to be pencil thin. We pierce our navals, Lips, tongues and eyes; Plus dye, paint and tuck Our hair, nails and thighs. In fact, Man's so disgruntled With "WHO" he is, That God only knows Which is a Mister or Miz. Now, you and I know We were formed out of sod; And magnificently designed In the very image of God. So think for a moment... How we must break God's heart Every time that we alter His best Work of Art. Can be reached at [email protected] Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
