Comminate ... Empty

Today's word is "comminate" ... KOM-uh-neyt ... to threaten with divine punishment or vengeance. (Dictionary.com)

Empty
What do we deserve?
A life of leisure?
Events to go 
our way?

What have we done,
That commination
Should not be 
our expectation?

What haven't we done?

Why then this grace,
That comes for us all,
Leaving us with
Our mouths open
In surprise?
