943

Isaiah Ch45 v 7

So you created evil; you agree,

Or at least that's what Isaiah says.

I'm glad that you admit it and can be

Honest with us even as you rage

Against those who ignore your claims

For straight obedience to some dubious laws

Set up by tribal elders whose real aims

Were crowd control, subverting the vile roars

Of sweaty desert yobs.  But now we know

That everyting that is goes back to you

For good or ill, and all we have to show

For it are endless years of misery and woe.

          How glorious that we know how to love

          Despite the anger seething up above.
