God the Problem

Bi Janus

To hell with power and hate and war. -- “Instruction to Angels,” Kenneth Patchen 

 

 

Streaming earthward and to each as he deserves:

 

The powerful deserving power,

The strong deserving strength,

The well deserving health,

And the wealthy deserving wealth.

 

The powerless deserving servitude,

The weak deserving impotence,

The sick deserving blight,

And the poor deserving slight.

 

Were it not so,

What a problem God would be,

Strangling nature

While collecting fares.
