HANDMADE 
  
We make steel swords and blades….
God makes blades of green grass….

We make clubs and police billy sticks …
God makes willow and oak trees ….

We make guns and howitzers ….
God creates the gentle breeze  ….

We take rocks and throw them ….
God creates Mount Everest ….

We spit words of complaint  at each other ….
God speaks the Word made flesh to us ….

We make walls to wall each other out ….
God makes paths that can lead to peace ….

Okay we make strawberry sundaes ….
And God creates volcanoes of fire ….
