What is man?
You have a mind full of him--
fulsome, foul, some filled with folly--
reminding You of their requests
and questioning when You have
a mind fueled by majestic ways.
You made him higher than the beasts
and lower than the angels, blessed,
yet for his angelic angling
he at best in beastly anger
besets You by his best behests.
What is man--
that You don't mind him
blaming all the spoils of his
apple-spoiled appetite for justice
on Your wantonness
or wanted-ness?
