God as a pessimist..?

I made the world blindfolded, 

I held dreams in my hand. 

I made seas left and right

And scattered commands. 

I made doves for peace

And snakes for war

I created and created 

Till my back was sore. 

But something was missing, 

There was no thought

Nothing of intelligence

I had wrought. 

But intelligence is dangerous, 

Said the voice in my head. 

With thoughts come wars, 

And killing and death.

But I was still blindfolded

So I made just one man. 

One man can't bring harm, 

He certainly can't.

But he cried in the night

And was lonely and hurt

So I made him a partner 

A beautiful girl. 

I witnessed a love

So wondrous and clear

That I wanted to hide knowledge

I wanted to hide fear. 

But my humans were eager, 

They ate of the tree. 

They multiplied the Earth 

And made a fool of me. 

They destroyed my nature, 

They cut down my plants

They were blindfolded also

Deaf to my commands. 

I cry in the night, too 

Wishing this was not so

But I created the world 

And I'm watching it go.
