highly improbable

it is highly
improbable that any
omnipotent deity who created
the earth, the stars & the
universe

could imaginably
take sides
in the sectarian
scuffles of an
almost unfindable
planet.

still less
likely that
He, She & It would
be willing to
tolerate a sentient
species killing its own
kind.

a wise
creator (though we can
only speculate) abhors
destruction & surely
lacks patience with
waste.

what else
could be the
meaning of
intelligent design?

by miraculous
circumstance, we have
been blessed with
an astoundingly
beautiful eden
planet

with hearts & eyes,
& hands & brains &
each other

to care for the world
& make
praise.

we lie &
practice heresy
at our own
risk.
