The Problem of Evil

The Problem of Evil Philosophers say

Sagely nodding their head

On page after page we’ll forever make hay

And it’s not to be grasped by the lay

                                 

The Problem of Evil Theologists say

Promising life to the dead

We’ll never know it but continue to pray

You’ll see it on judgement day

                      

The Problem of Evil some People will say

Following as they are led

It’s probably right to kill them this way

Let God sort them out in the fray

                       

But in the underbrush somebody growled

Nature in tooth can be red

The problem is solved

When you see we’re evolved

We’ll take it from there if we may
