I AM NOT THE GOD OF STAGNATION

Carrots and sticks
cannot grow integrity.
Comfort and ease
corrode societies.
Ideals lead us
over sharp rocks
of self-actualization.

How does God fit into all this?

ABBA: 
I am not the God of stagnation.

ME: 
Eternity and perfection never change -- do they?

ABBA: 
 Are you kidding?
I'm still growing Myself.

ME: 
Will you fill the emptiness I feel?

ABBA:
It will go into remission from time to time.

ME: 
I thought those moments would last forever --
I thought they were supposed to last forever.

ABBA: 
You keep picking up rubble
to weigh you down
rather than risk using your wings.
