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

Heya super Mo, this is actually quite brilliant, and makes so much of sense about the mindset of mankind, cheers David

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

And chuckles for me too, thank you! Draft = conscription, indoctrination... RSD, xomo!

Ah, so true, and so much to think about in this epigram. Well-written, Maureen.
