Specious Logic God Paradox Poem


I’m omniscient,
That’s how I knew
I was omnibenevolent too,
Which led me to think I could hence do
Good.

And the Good is all, and All is good,
Ergo I could do all without being too rude.

Now, that’s good and all,
But having all I wanted more,
And banged my head against a wall
Till a thought was thrust upon my cerebral shore;

Being omnipotent
I could do what meant
All knowledge to my mind be sent -
Thus I became omniscient.
