View the poem God's Work by Ian McDonald?

God's Work by Ian McDonald is abt a man who has hired Prince or as he calls him Mister Edwards to work in his yard. The employer shows great respect for Mister Edwards and admires him. Mister Edwards was a strong black man that according to the persona wads never sick a day in his life until the day he became sick.Mister Edwards attributed eveything to the work of God: the rain, flood,destruction of property. the persona attributes Mister Edwards prolonged pain and suffering to his strong heart but Mister Edwards labels it as God's Work. The persona is with Mister Edwards until the moment he dies and proclaims it God's Work. The persona is deeply angered by this admonition and declares that "God should play more": it is nit necessarily meant to be disrespectful to the Almighty creator but to display the persona's bitterness and cynicism at the loss of a good friend. the persona beleives the situation to be greatly ironic as God is protrayed as the giver of life and the protector of the the life he has given-only for him to painstakingly take the life of a avid believer in the work's of God.
