A Better God (Free verse) by Dovina
When I become god of a far away planet,
Iâll set up my world with great beauty and wit.
And to keep me from getting too lonely,
Iâll make beings to admire my work.
My creatures will discover all that Iâve made
quite pleasing and right in their finite minds.
Iâll show them in love how their world was formed,
remove any doubt of who did it or why.
Ancient texts on how I created, Iâll not leave about
to conflict with evidence for some other way.
No, Iâll make plain how to seek me and praise,
if they wish to, but never they must.
Then they will let me receive them
and heal their self-made diseases.
Thatâs the kind of god I will be.
Not the unknowable elusive kind.
