Neither man nor woman can ever achieve a higher status than God...their endeavors and creativity may prove lofty and highly intelligent, but it can never come close to the power of our maker. Smiles, Carol

I like it, I'm not sure why but this one just got me

Man in million centuries learnt Your Destined Cause
After a century, we'll get true, recognized humans
Ne'er worry! We're doctorates in human creations now!

My fav above
Take care, Pete

This free verse is most interesting and thought provoking. I remember Ayn Rand, an art Horst, being interviewed by Phil Donahue about creation and she said there was nothing fascinating about what God supposedly made, but that man made objects were more complex and superior in her mind. Whatever.

Hi Alcreator,

Your long prose-poem is a satire on how important Man thinks he is. He pushes his status up higher and higher as inventions and technologies are achieved. He is a fool to think he will ever be higher and more intelligent than our Creator. One can never be greater than his Maker. It is folly to think this.

Your carefully crafted verse is a clear repetition of how ironic these beliefs are that Man thinks he will ever be as God or surpass the Divine.

Thought provoking and an interesting piece :-)

All the best,
Senyai

Deep powerful mediation on the nature of humanity and it means that we were created in God's image and therefore have a spark of divinity in each of us.

One of the key ingredients to achieving success and winning in life, is the human effort. It may be the one sole ingredient to success that each human alive has the ability to control. One has to unleash the untapped levels of efforts. Thanks for sharing. I hope I have understood your words to some extent.

Man does achieve rank and status through hard word and dedication. Some men are not prepared to put in the effort and so they do not achieve. I am all for rewarding those who work hard and often against the odds become adept at what they do. Many people face challenges and overcome adversity and enjoy the rewards in life, I have admiration for them. Those who can't be bothered or are held back by their prejudices often fail to make their mark. I hope this is what you meant in your write here which I found hard to navigate, love Dolly x

You've clearly put much effort into this work, as well as into your meticulous notes, thus you've earned your stars; nonetheless, I'm struggling to make sense of the imagery. Perhaps the reason is that I have a hard time comprehending metaphor.

Once again you present some interesting ideas and concerns about the role of God and man in our existence. While I'm not against genetic engineering, I think it needs to be used in the context of improving the quality of life for those who suffer. God rules and we have free will as humans. Thanks for this thought provoking poem.
