Does evil come from suffering?
Does suffering come from evil?
Or are they only manifestations
Of an energy primeval?

Is God just a fraudster, the devil a friend?
All moralistic perceptions null in the end?
Is hell something we create
and inflate with our dread?

Did the gods err when they made the world?
Did they weave in pain and death?
Does divinity bask and revel
When we draw our final breath?
