Numbers In Heaven (Free verse) by Dovina

My name is 183, one of myriad, born in heaven, nestled eternally between two evens, and called, with affection, odd. Some of us are prime, numbers so perfect they were flung to distant worlds, if maybe there, their beauty too might be beheld. I take delight in knowing I am certain, fixed and real, never to be forsaken or replaced, unique, useful, unmatched and unmatchable. Pregnant with potential in Platonic minds, we odds alone, save the chosen 2, titillate their senses. Sometimes in anxious moments, Senses failing, in the wonder of it all, I feel an urgent sadness, imagine myself a figment of their god-like minds, a bipolar disturbance, perhaps a mere conveyance, no more than an assertion, a useful word. Then I feel contrived by them for pleasure and convenience, lovely only in their minds. But as the notion passes, I rest in heavenly peace, unequaled and real, fixed and founded, uniquely placed by God.

For the sake of argument, let's say I DID say "the human race is on the whole intelligent and capable of solving its problems WITHOUT GOD'S HELP". I didn't, but let's say I did.

Wouldn't it be a really cool thing for God to make human beings well enough that they could solve problems? I think it would. It would be better than him making us just awful. And do you really believe God sitting up in his workshop says, I'm going to make humans utterly incompetent! That'll show 'em!

And making good people would be a good way of helping the world without being obvious. Like say He sees India is having a lot of trouble under British Rule and says, "Hey, I'll make a really great guy named Gandhi who's able to help out the country." Don't you agree it's possible that God works like that?

Sure, God also makes bad people, the way I see it. But I believe on the whole He makes more good people than bad people, if He does exist. Yes, that's very hypothetical. Because it's my BELIEF. My BELIEF is also that Dovina isn't an actual angel because, one, I don't think angels exist, and two, her ignorance is beyond beyond.
