Scientists Analyzed God’s Work And Gave Him A D-
Six poems about criticism for the omniscient, omnipotent monodeity
Turtledoves
what else is life but unsolicited zoo confinement
if the omniscient one really meant for us
in all these years we’re thrust into open eyes
with restless hands so dextrous with creative manufacturing
and maundering curiosity so enthusiastic for assimilation
into diversity and rarity and sui generis eccentricity
to merely rim his egotistical numinous butthole?
what would you do if you were the creator
whose image you are reported to resemble?
would it incense you with incandescent fury
that todd wilson of akron ohio
did not burn a turtledove for you after his wife gave birth?
would you design a master plan
that required burning turtledoves for a thousand years?
would you send a version of yourself to earth to be tortured and sacrificed
just so you can forgive the turtledove hoarders from their sins?
