Punished By God

When I had a car accident several years ago, I had quite the scare.

My brakes went out and I crashed and I'm confined to a wheelchair.

I'll never walk again, I'll be in this wheelchair for the rest of my life.

Because she didn't want to be married to a cripple, I lost my wife.

I was a phony faith healer and I perpetrated a fraud.

But I didn't get away with it, I was punished by God.

I would scam innocent people out of their bread.

I'm in a wheelchair and I'm lucky not to be dead.

Some may think it wasn't God's punishment but I know that it was.

I learned that a man has to pay for the wicked things that he does.

I'll suffer for the rest of my days because of my car that was driven.

I asked the Lord to forgive me for my sin and I have been forgiven.
I have some advice and you'd better listen to the words that I say.

Don't use the Lord to scam people because if you do, you will pay.

Fabulist is not a dirty word when it comes to poetry, I have cast myself into many roles for the purpose of storytelling, often to the misunderstanding of the reader. You offer a complete picture and story with end rhymes that make it read as the parable which you intend. This is a great write that brings the reader on a journey and leaves them with thought. You might end up with a RR because I think you will appreciate it. Thank you for this offering.
