Alpha and Omega
So what if that First Cause is that First Cause?
So what? Just how does that impinge on me?
That CAUSE is more remote than Santa Claus
In frozen Arctic regions in the twee
Realm Rudolf ’s red, red nose is blinking in.
That First Firm Fact is more like childhood myth
For us who muddle through the death and sin
That overwhelms the cosmos we deal with.
As Dillard says, we’re vastly unaware
Of slaughter on a nauseating scale
Around us, underneath us, everywhere.
Such scope makes God just plainly puke-like pale.
So much for logic’s hard and cogent strife …
If God is making all this dying life.
