No. CLXVI: Memo To Bernie, Rand, et. al.

Sometimes believers get mad at their God
when she does not do as they wish.
Atheists, also, get mad at theirs.
(Because she doesn't exist.)

It is universal to wish things were “better”
and blame and complain 'cuz they ain't
but dreaming of “better”, I've got to say,
is something I find rather quaint.

When you strive to improve circumstances,
attempt to reverse the adverse,
most of the time, despite your intentions,
you succeed in making things worse.

For reasons unfathomable,
things are as they are.
The fault, my dear Brutuses,
IS in our stars.
