The Divine Tragedy
May I ask you a question,Lord, A question which boggles my mind And wrenches my heart with every tick of the clock? By your leave may I ask Was the First Sin of Adam and Eve so unbearably offending to attract the extreme wrath of your Lordship? From Eden you drove them out to suffer the same sin until doomsday? Do you think your act warranted your proverbial kindness and mercy? Just one simple mistake, a single instance of so-called disobedience, would damn the gist of your Creation ! Oh, no ! Wasn't it too ungodly of you to treat them, The perfection of your own artifice, with such impatient hospitality? You could have,if you wanted, forgiven them If not you could have sent them to hell Or if hell was not ready at that time Or you hadn't the idea clicked you yet, To waiting in the purgatory, Or, you could have exiled them to some other world Where the sins they committed couldn't be repeated. My Lord, I think you erred in judgment, took a wrong turn, perhaps, At the instance of your loveless advisers, your army of angels. a great injustice has been done In ousting humans from their place of birth, destining them to live, suffer and die; wasn't there something better you could do To emancipate them from forced sufferings and circuitry of sins? Nothing you could do to prevent them from turning into mere slaves of belly and below and turn the virgin earth inot ghoulish earth of yours? Adam and Eve are apples of your eye yet you felt the need to clone and replicate them in millions and billions repeating the same Original Sin? A sin replete with unending sufferings but a little joy Wasn't it easy for you to plan differently, Easy for you easy for the humankind? Was it your desire to have a fleet of human population Engaged in all sorts of good and evil simply to appease and make you happy? Couldn't you rest content with one Adam And One Eve in paradise? Was it not possible for you to forgive them For their first sin, sin simpliciter? You could have decorated your paradise And enriched it with human replicas By simply pulverizing some of Adam's ribs And converting them into Eves of all sorts Without making them pass through The pains and pangs and pleasures of biological burdens, The curse of hunger, appetite, libido, satiation and orgasm Oh, Lord, have you ever thought Your haste has brought untold sufferings To your beloved children What you could do so simply and easily With your touted mercy and magnificence Remained undone for un-understandable reasons All you did may be fine in your own right But then why these promises of deferred reward In the hereafter? Why this roar of punishment in the after-life For things you ordained Satan to enforce Upon your children? Why, why all this tribulation This undeserving treatment To your dearest ones on earth- Us, the Humans?
