Sonnet II

By Bernie Pilarski

Sonnet II

Energy can neither be created
Nor destroyed thermodynamically
Speaking, and that can not be debated;
It is something we know conclusively.
God has no beginning, he has no end
So it is said by the theologians;
But everyone knows theologians tend
To defend only their own delusions.
So what do we make of a god who seems
Thermodynamically consistent,
Whose light it is claimed from a heaven beams,
But who is absolutely resistant
To being discovered, probed and prodded,
By creatures with whom he is besotted.

I'm watching Shakespeare movies on Turner Classics and reading a sonnet by you. This is good for my troubled soul right now!
