I wrote this poem almost forty years ago and happened to find, adjust and publish it on https://curtlong.com...

IF GOD SHOULD GO ON STRIKE

It's just a good thing God above

has never gone on strike

Because He wasn't treated fair

for things He didn't like

If He had ever once sat down

and said, "That's it, I'm through,

I've had enough of those on earth

so this is what I'll do

I'll give my orders to the Sun,

cut off your shining light,

And to the moon, give no pull,

To give the oceans flight;

Then, just to really make it tough

and put the pressure on,

Turn off the wind and air,

till every breath is gone

You know that He'd be justified

if fairness were the game,

For no one has been more abused

or treated with disdain

And yet our God, He carries on

supplying you and me

With all the favors of His Grace,

and everything for free!

Men say they want a better deal

and so, on strike they go,

But what a deal we've given God

to Whom all things they flow.

We don't care who we hurt or harm

to get the things we like,

But what a mess we'd all be in

If God should go on strike
