Two God Complain Poems

God Complain: Poems

Immortal Soul

I gave an immortal soul to the flea,
And nobody thought, this was great,
Rather they said, “Why didn’t he also
Give one to the Elephant!” And that is
When I knew, I could not please man,
Or even the monkey, nor the valet…!

Immortal Woman

A child dies in it mother’s womb
Just at that moment, I gave it a soul,
It really has no identity at this stage
(he will form his later, with me),
And the mother thinks, all it could
Have been…but without the soul he
Would have not become…,
She flatters herself that she created
Him, that she alone is gifted,
Perhaps from her inordinate vanity
