I just went to that website and this one caught my eye.

Again being one focused on subject matter and not meter, this one scares the ever living shit out of me.
If I am reading the entire motif of the poem correctly it blames humans for what this god did not have to set up in the first place. Our "haughty" thoughts. I cannot think of a worse motif than advocating self loathing and the avoiding of the responsibility of the game you set up that the players had no say in and then blame you for what this god started.
Now again, I am strictly talking about subject mater here. If I was judging flow alone, it flowed like most I read.
