The Greatest Evil

A brief, declarative poem identifying the greatest evil as the notion that God is prejudiced in His deity, as if vision itself could have proportions.

A compressed theological argument that names 'the greatest evil' as a single idea: the 'notion / That God / Is prejudice / In His diety.' Spread thin down the page in two- and three-word lines, the poem treats this not as blasphemy to refute but as a category mistake to expose, capped by the suspended final clause 'As if, / there were; / proportions in a vision...' The trailing ellipsis is doing the work - a true vision has no proportions, no measure, no partiality, so to imagine the divine as biased is to shrink the boundless to a human scale. The greatest evil, then, is not an act but a misperception, the imposition of measurement onto what cannot be measured.
