What do you think this poem is about?

God limited

Is this the best of all possible worlds?
Is this the best that God can do?
Is this the limit of his omnipotence?
Are we then limited by a limited God?

Or is this not rather the limit of my knowledge?
Am I a midge trying to grasp an elephant,
An elephant trying to grasp a jumbo jet
A jumbo jet trying to reach the seventh dimension?

Is this the end of my poem then?
Is everything else pure futile noise?
Am I wasting my time like good old Pangloss?
Throwing words onto a paper in vain?
