God



How did God emanate? How did God arrive?
How did God first create? How did God contrive?

Could God concoct Himself? Could God innovate?
Could God produce grand pelf? Could God satiate?

When did God ponder man? When did God begrudge?
When did God sketch the plan? When did God adjudge?

Would God render free will? Would God oversee?
Would God sanction a kill? Would God cop a plea?

Where did God seek pleasure? Where did God repine?
Where did God find leisure? Where did God divine?

Should God reiterate? Should God redefine?
Should God retaliate? Should God redesign?

What did God have in mind? What did God perceive?
What did God wish in-kind? What did God achieve?

When, where, why, what and how did it all begin?
Should, would, could God endow? Why, what, where and when?
