There was failure once
In abundance
Where trees were fruitful
Where animals were playful
Where humanity rested its head
On the luscious ***** of created and Creator
Wrought with destruction
Hellfire eclipsed
Snakes, serpents, leviathans, dragons
Eclipsing the sun where it stood in the sky
Changing out the staff for a noose
Hang thyselves, created
Hang
To bite at the ankles
To inject a great debilitator
Break your backs, created
Break
Labor in pain
Labor in vain
Understand your place
A second go
The desert showed
There was no flora to be fruitful
No abundance, but lack thereof
The antithesis of the first
Down to the outcome
Perhaps a former so we can see the glory
Of the latter
Out of desolation
Came great reserve
Out of desperation
Came great determination
Out of humanity
Came divinity

This is one of the first religious poems I've made that I legitimately enjoy and stand proud of. I hope this tend continues.
