Let's suppose there is a God.
Most days, it seems to me,
he hates humans.

Probably with good reason.
We keep taking and taking.

Maybe he'll hold his hand for worse;
to see if kindness will ascend
to its hoped-for throne.

Hello, Michael,

I like to think that God and the Universe are actually one.  I hope we learn the kindness your poem speaks of - otherwise...

Thank you for these thought-invoking words!
