Simply Organic
In the beginning there was Adam.
He was a Smith.
Crafting with an invisible hand,
he carved out
the wealth of nations.
A horseshoe
never made a blacksmith.
Complexity creates
the illusion of design.
Simpler things
are made.
A market is unknowably complicated.
Nobody can manage it.
Humans have the idea of a market,
but markets make themselves.
Humans thought of the internet
but the internet made itself.
Humans sow seeds.
Tiny contributions
by each of millions,
makes a perfectly
functioning whole.
No individual contributor
is of consequence.
God is a simple thing.
Easy for man to make.
Grass is complicated.
Rocket science is easy.
Once god was improved
from being a piece
of painted wood,
he didn't work.

Thanks Kevin. Yes, like a merket or the internet it did sort of write itself to begin with, but then I revised it and shortened it. Yet another case of meddling that may have made things worse rather than better. ;-)
