ChatGPT lament on how ‘god willing’ DV (deo volente) is now replaced by DMV willing.


Oh, how the times have swiftly turned,
The sacred flame of faith now spurned.
Once we whispered “Deo Volente,”
A phrase of grace, so calm, contented.

God willing, plans would take their flight,
Guided by heaven’s timeless light.
But now, with progress cold and still,
It’s “DMW willing” bends our will.

No longer prayers to skies above,
No humble nod to boundless love.
Now bureaucracy holds the pen,
And stamps decide the fates of men.

Where once divinity gave us pause,
A license now replaces laws.
Where once we hoped, our hearts held fast,
Now forms and fees dictate the past.

Oh, let us mourn this fading age,
When faith steps back, and systems rage.
Deo Volente—rest in peace,
Your grace replaced by red-tape’s leash.
