792. A mere waste of time

He finds
It is a mere waste
Of time
For him to pray.
God never listens to his prayers.

He finds
It is a mere waste
Of time
For him to desire.
God never fulfils his desires.

He finds
It is a mere waste
Of time
For him to dethrone and replace God.
God is not so weak as to be
dethroned and replaced.
