God Fell Down

It was not a mistake. God

Could not make mistakes. God was

Incapable of mistake,

Although God intimated,

Often, it was possible,

Had God chosen to do so.

God did not choose this. God chose

A wise strategy, and this

Came along with the package.

The Godly strategy loosed,

Deliberately, of course,

Free will, and free will required

A stochastic element

In the universe, design

Which was not quite explicit.

Random is what random does.

Thus, by sheer coincidence,

God was briefly unbalanced,

El fell down like a corpse, and

The next thing you know, God was

Walking around God’s green Earth,

Body like anybody’s,

From birth to death, injuries

And suffering in between.

God wanted no part of this.

As soon as that God’s body

Was done, God got up and left.

This is why everything’s weird—

Dark matter, dark energy,

So many paradoxes.

Free will and true randomness

Were in at the beginning

But rescinded for being

Annoyingly disruptive,

If not deliberately

Mischievous. Your past is part

Genuinely free but past,

Part strategically rigid.

God fell down and wrote more script.
