God is not omniscient

They say God made the world —
which is (I guess) possible —
then took the position
of not being responsible
for all of the bother
and all of the fuss,
so all of the messes
are down to us?
A weak alibi.
Not even pig swill.
I mean, after all,
who gave us “free will”?
And if it's “free will”
that makes things go rotten

Why not create creatures
who'll grovel before me?’
“Or did you do
everything only
because you were alone
because you were alone
and feeling lonely,
wanting a friend —
or something like that?
Maybe next time,
just get a cat?”
