When opportunity closes up ... we think of grand reasons for the misfortune, instead of just accepting it at face value (if I take the meaning correctly). I’m a glass half full guy ... I like to think there’s something better around the corner when one path gets blocked. But I do acknowledge the cleverness of your thoughts and the rebellious tone.

Hi Timothy! I’m a half fuller too, and feel that the universe has a way. Humans have a way too. You my poetry friend, write mind blowing poetry, I hope you know that. xomo

Love the humor in your write Mo'... Like Michelle I wondered why you said " a god"...

Thank you Joseph. I used “a god” rather than “God” as the poem is more about human nature than any one religion. xomo

I have abandoned you. That's why reason fled. It will come back. Hugs xovb..

It's interesting that you say 'a god' instead of 'God' - but I like it, makes it feel more capricious!

Thank you! The history of religions fascinates me, particularly in respect to human nature. xomo
