COPLA CUARENTA Y SIETE: This Bad Guy World

Could humans be thought intelligent
And gods dumb blind bloody heartless:
Might it look true

Or are humans made to relent
Higher design by gods no less:
More likely true

Supreme God uses toddler gods
The rhythmic Shiva dance divine:
Yang-Yin la-di-da

Till humans learn to become gods
And submit to His Grand Design:
Lordly lila*

•	Lila (leela): In Hinduism, the Supreme Being (Brahman)
in a magical creative act manifests himself in the Universe acting out the 
“Divine Play” through a rhythmic dance (of Shiva), and the “Divine Actor” casts 
a spell on the beholder of the creative act which appears as an illusion (maya) 
to him. And then He returns to Himself.
