CREATION

The God of Hope and Circumstance,

snapped his fingers and the World began.

Inventor of the sharks and fire ants,

for pundit’s praise, created man.

All life evolved by selection chance,

by expiring flaws, from ordained plan.

Did God expect that men who speak

would improve beyond the first?

Did God want man to govern meek,

not reigning fierce with red blood thirst?

To conquer and feast on the weak

mocking their maker, with their worst.

Was man designed for second birth,

our time on Earth, a trial event?

Could man improve, deserving Earth,

with evolving change, designed intent?

Or was God faulted by wit and mirth,

and too forgiving to ask for rent.
