The Day After

Beginner's luck, perhaps that's all it was.
Ask any child -  they'll say: He started it,
but our existence's sole, Primal Cause -
who'd left few rules when He departed it
for parts unknown, or so it would appear -
continues to receive all manner praise,
although it's more than clear He doesn't steer,
and takes no credit. Not for sunny days,
nor for the wars he technically abhors.
Yes, luck indeed. Create, then wash your hands.
Believer, do not say that he ignores
your sad and sorry plight. No, he intends,
had always meant for all of this to happen,
and isn't sunning, frolicking, or napping.
