What was God doing when he first blew up
the naught and single-handedly begot
the aught in that terrible Big Bang?
Was He pondering on Sin, Repentance, & Redemption,
while huge galaxies & worlds unfurl´d in cosmic radiation?
Did He dwell on Moral Law, Sexual Continence,
& Lifelong Matrimony while the choirs of angels sang?
Did He think of Life & Death, of Misery & Pain,
as his mighty dreadful Hand stirr'd the cosmic brew?
In what genial, timeless moment did God engineer his Hell?
Did He watch all sinners roast in a fancy grand preview?
Could his infallible Reason fully fathom how insignificant
one human life would be in the scheme of Cosmic Time?
Did He stop to think of Just & fair as He wrote his Passion Play?
What rating will He give it when He writes the end review?
And when everything´s been said and done,
Will God just rewind the tape in a terrible Big Crunch?
Will He have the Play re-played while He enjoys his Brunch?
