491. He challenged God

During his entire life
He challenged God
Not once, but thrice.

In the morning of his life
He challenged God’s Power,
Only to be liberated.

In the afternoon of his life
He challenged God’s Forgiveness,
Only to be forgiven.

In the evening of his life
He challenged God’s Immortality,
Only to be embraced.
