A Creation’s Condemnation
An Odyssey on Omniambivalence

Omnipotent.
Omniscient.
Omnipresent.
If such essence(s) exist...
...then it must be
that some deity
(a Monster, honestly)
either arbitrarily,
on a whimsy,
intended me...
Or worse!
Deliberately
and dutifully,
it drudged me
up from eternity
and forged deftly
my unceremonious
totality.
“Crafted masterfully,
carefully,”
they said assuredly.
Bologna.
Probably
some Cherubim army
chanted angelically
(or perhaps off-key?),
“Wholly,
wholly..."
(Holy shit!)
as that entity
wrought me -
my personality
and anatomy,
biography,
works cited,
and completed
bibliography -
into this calamity.
Then, that which
the devotees
claim readily
(blindly)
as “Almighty,”
declared auspiciously,
“It is Good, verily!
Yes, Good, certainly!”
Finally,
that great Sufferee
breathed,
heavily
and windily.
Bestowing vitality!
Thus casting me,
no! Condemning me
to live
brokenly.
What kind of
omnipotent,
omniscient,
omnipresent
god could have inflicted
this existence compassionately?
Once, I, on bended knee
with hands held tightly,
muttered fervently,
repeatedly,
religiously,
this Creed
(or this plea?):
“Great is thy mercy!
Good is thy making!
Soon, Earth, as Heaven shall be!”
I waited. Patiently.
But...
Omnipotence.
Omniscience.
Omnipresence.
These I have yet to see.
So damn him!
And that so called divinity!
