Second Note to “Ajab Sabre Khuda Darad”

God, as well as an intellectual love of God, is theoretically the greatest good – or summum bonum – yet, God created evil and made human nature prone to evil. And once inclined to evil, human beings are then smacked upside the head with either a calamity or war to straighten us out. A good and perfect God decided that the only thing he was going to mess up and screw up was human nature. This is why we have the question of whether God is good or evil in the first place. But in this poem, the subject is bewildered by the patience and mercy of God. He is shocked at how God just sits back and lets all the evil and mischief unfold when he could just stop it. And if he were in the place of God, he would do things much differently.
