Rebirth

The Saints of Heaven marched to Him
Troubled they all did seem
With folded hands at His feet they lay
And the most pious among them stepped up to say:

"Oh Lord, spotted have we
An anomaly we would like you to see
Because as one shall sow, so will he reap
This balance you strive to keep"

"But the Courts of Earth are never just
The powerful are punished only if they must
In jails only petty criminals we see
While the rich sinners roam happy and free"

"Yet identically, both by You, are punished
And to the depths of Hell banished
But why should the petty suffer two times
When the rich have committed similar crimes?"

His face gladdened with a smile
And at His subjects he looked a while
Then his melodious voice filled the air
Full of love, affection and care

"Oh My children, valid are your concerns
By your thoughtfulness you have earned an explanation
The matter you put forth, I did not overlook
For long before Creation, did I moot"

"Yes the powerless sinners are punished twice
And on earth the influential escape with vice
Both to the Dungeons of Nether are fed
But for the latter more punishment lies ahead"

"Since the petty have suffered on Earth in their life past
Hence on Earth, the rich will suffer when they are recast
Equally the powerful shall pay for the caused grief and harm
Hear My Children: As Engineers they shall be Reborn"
