Your syllable count is correct for a 5-7-5 poem. However, your message is very confusing. What are the Hills a metaphor for? God is unhappy with some but not all? Sorry, I read this over several times and I just can't even make a good guess about its meaning.

Syllable count is right on for this type of poem, but the message seems unclear to me. After reading it over and over and then looking at the other reviews to try to help me find what I failed to see, I still feel lost.

lol- Even thought 'the hills are alive with the sound of music', I don't believe they 'talk' to God. We are all humans, some better than others, but all made in God's image. The condition of man's soul is between God and man. God would never call his creations a 'farce'. God knows that none are not without sin...no not one.
Thanks for sharing your opinion of what God does and does not say. Betty

honestly? I'm sorry, but I don't know WHAT you're on about! At least you have the syllable count right, but really - humane? human? PLEASE give us some clarity.

Hi there again
I am awarding a fourth star based on your author's notes. The body of the poem feels short, and without a metaphor. God is a real personage. He did not put us here to wander. We have purpose. That is my thought on it

This is good as I dont understand what you are trying to say even with the notes. Maybe you could make your explanations clearer.

Hills ask God, "What's man?"
Lord says, "His humane role's farce."
Most men, few humans!
Thank You for your creation.

And I believe that you just answered your own question about if man should achieve human rank status. This is a lovely 5-7-5!

"O Hills" is poetry in a different modeMore than most poems I read, this one defines metaphor and gives example. That is helpful by interpreting difficult phrases and stanzas.
Also, as you say, you ahve your own structure.
I may ahve missd right interpretation bit I see man who is supposed to be humane, civl and kind to environment, but is not worthy to be called human.

Out of curiosity I approached this piece and I must say that the work is surreal, Dali like if one may venture an opinion. God, Lord, Man, few humans...could it be a better world evolving after man is wiped out because of the 'farce'? Perhaps the hills (few humans)should ask, "Where the hell is man?
