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.
The theme is death, strength, injustice(well in the persona's view anyways).....
the themes are actually anger at God, platonic love, loyalty, interhenerational and interracial relationships, the unfairness of human suffering, the juxtapostion of social classes
It is About a Boy or man who is telling the story about his servant who was a good black man. The speaker looks up to this man, who in this poem was a slave in the period in which they were living. The speaker admires the man for his strength and especially for his sound heart. Every time the servant becomes sick he would conclude that it was God's work. The man always thought that God was responsible for his sicknesses in life. The man knew that it was time for him to go and so he was waiting for his death. When the servant died in his master's arm's his last words were "God's work."
