What Was God Doing When

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?
