God in His Infinite Wisdom

And God said: I'll make me a man who can subjugate the world
Bend it to his own will, just like me
And so he did
And so man has changing passions like the tides
The playfulness of waterfalls
The long memory as of dust
The unpredictability and sudden violence of volcanoes
The darkness that hides in plain sight
The perseverance of starlight
The indomitable iron will with which he forges his existence
And the creativity to carry out his every whim-
Good and evil become a matter of degree
And infinity something he should never have to think about
Since he lacks that one quality of the creator
Without which, the only thing that is out of his reach
Is conquering the entire universe.
