Cunning, too, the Stupid God can be,
Cloaking its intent that few can see
The ill effects of things, from which they’d flee
Were they not obfuscated by dire need.
It is through such and the demand to heed
Such things that Stupid God can often lead
Unwary desperate people to ill ends,
And on that misdirection it depends,
Else people would themselves better defend
Than seems to be the case that they will do.
It’s not for nothing they have cause to rue
The path they’ve taken, what they have gone through.
They offer warnings that few others hear
Until, too late, they’ve paid their prices dear.
