A World of Perfect Imperfection

Vaeira

Pharaoh was told, that the Jews would be redeemed.
To Pharaoh it didn't make sense, for to him it seemed ...

That if H-shem was All Powerful, Moshe would not have problems when he would speak.
The fact that Moshe Rabbeinu had a speech impediment, to Pharaoh meant (chalilah) that H-shem was weak.

Pharaoh thought that if H-shem could do everything, no one would be handicapped.
The world would be perfect; nothing would be lacked.

Some who see, a world of imperfections and flaws,
Think (chalilah) that The Aibershter's "limitations" are the cause.

This thought has persisted through the ages,
Often by people who think we are descended from primates, that we should live in cages!
_______________

But when we see a desert, where nothing can grow,
The reason why, is not for us to know. 

It doesn't (chas vishalom) mean that H-shem does not have the power
To bring rain to quench the desert thirst, at any given hour.

And, if there is a bird that for some reason cannot sing a sweet song,
It does not mean that H-shem (chas vishalom) is not really strong!

When things are imperfect, it may cause us to ask why,
Like, why can't H-shem cure illnesses, which cause people to die.

"H-shem is imperfect," in an hour of desperation some might say,
And feel G-d forbid, that it is useless to pray.

Of course H-shem is all powerful, with a master plan.
But why imperfection exists in this world, it can be hard to understand.

Yes, despite death and all the world's imperfections and pain,
That thought that H-shem is All Powerful in our minds as we daven must always remain
