But If God Said.….
Why would anyone build a world
designed to fall apart?
Byproduct of some cosmic blast –
a great celestial fart.
What could cause this space debris
to form itself in chains?
Bound by finite mortal forms
and doomed to cold remains.
Why should a vacuous expanse
collapse to mold a heart?
When better sense would indicate
a preference not to start.
What makes a single cell multiply
to change its form and function?
When all its bold attempts at life
will end with final unction.
How can the human soul exist
enslaved by earthly pleasures?
When all along its passion burns
like piles of earthly treasures.
Later I may contemplate
Thy beatific visions.
Til then my heart will cultivate
more earthly apparitions.
