God, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent,
Is much to be pitied. He is bound
To every atom, every particle, even
The half-imaginary ones, throughout
An appallingly vast universe. Compared to this,
Crucifixion is a walk in the park on a sunny day.
And there's worse still. Knowing everything,
Not being limited by time, God never
Gets to say "Whoa -- I didn't see that coming!"
Bored, scattered, stretched, save for us,
His lockpicks, His sun glimpsed through a tiny window,
The rat or roach or spider He's taught to do tricks,
God would surely lack all hope.
