You say it is the will of Gd
Perhaps it’s just your unwillingness
To imagine the possibilities
Step out of bounds
Do whatever it takes
Perhaps you are not in fact powerless
But rather lazy
Self-indulgent
Relying on the systems rules constructs
That small-minded people created
To ensure the even flow of mediocrity
Maybe you are just operating
On the lowest common denominator
Knowing that to effect change
You would have to create new standards
And hold yourself to them
While others try to shoot you down
In avoidance of your demands on yourself
Which have implicit demands on them
Maybe you really
Just don’t care all that much
And you look to Gd
Not as the all powerful One
With a divine plan in mind
But rather
As your personal scapegoat
