Playing God

Today I have sat here playing about with an idea for todays poem. But only one topic remained in my mind and thus controlled my mind regarding composing a poem.

Consider an element of society that for want of another term, are playing god with a number of areas about us, either with those in Society or with the public in a wide variety of ways. Or with those about them. Then we have those of us who without realising cast judgment on others in society.

If we were to look deep enough we would find someone who fits into the Idea of Playing God. But there are those who would name and list out a variety of areas where some play god. It is not for me to judge BUT it is for me to write on a topic that stands out in my mind. But I am certain that folks will find some about them when they read the poem below.

There is not much that I could say to further explain what this poem is about. BUT The poem is about those of us who either unknowingly or with full knowledge plan and carry out things in society and worldwide that effects the population and thus they play god.

Having said this, Please Enjoy this Poem:

Playing God




Playing God in this crazy thing called Life,
Judging others on the edge of a knife.
Precision costing who should live and die,
Some will sit and cry more then wonder why.


The tentacles of greed seen everywhere,
Still you move without an heir who will care.
Yet your judgment seat there is made of straw,
Stand in awe of eloquent speech your draw.


Adorned with silver and gold stand in Pride,
Or worn on your sleeve and all stand aside.
Silence greets you loud, when honest tales call,
Occasion rises push them to the wall.  


Standing bridges rarely fall at your door,
But you play god with pride and you abhor.
Invading warriors, your dream desire,
Come stand in the mire and watch the lost choir.


Too many alive yet not enough will die,
Slaughter the cattle, we cannot grow shy.
Line the pockets and save for gain, they say,
Here the wolf shall pride in one that will prey.
