So What?

“So, after all these eons,
what are you best at, my man?
What rocks your boat,
what stokes your passion
what makes your day?” God asks
His creature.

“What I love most is conflict.
It’s what I do most reflexively,
(not counting ruts of lust).
In serial manner down bloody centuries
What I do best, my specialty,
is war, if I must say so myself,”
His creature replies.

“And why do you think
this is so?” asks God.

“Isn’t that something only
you would know?” replies
His creature, paraphrasing
Dylan.
