Freier Wille, der Fluch Gottes

The best game in town:
playing chess with God.

The omniscient old dude
fucked up by installing
that pesky free will.

Now he knows every possible
move you can make, but not
the one you will make.

Scholar’s mate or Fool’s mate;
pieces of cake, both sweet
redemption in the mortal mouth.
