Great Father

Great Father in heaven. Why give us free will? We’ve squandered it And suffered for it. Why, we have robots Around now to control. But they live better than Us without their free will. No dumb squabbles. Robots just do their jobs. Don’t need to hear the Damaging daily gossip Or to look out for the Important bad news. Or start wars just to Steal weaker countries Natural resources. And sometimes even The so called ‘peacemakers’ do these things despite claiming that they battle against the corrupt. Why have free will? Because now that we’ve Experienced it, we’ll Never give it up. Like the drowning man Clutching unto his chest Of golden treasure. We’d rather die than let Such a marvel be removed From our hearts and minds. Free will: The purpose of The human race. Free Will: The death of our Very own dying race.
