Stephen Crane Poem

A man said to the universe:
"Sir I exist!"
"However," replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."

This poem struck me as very vague. If my interpretation is close I believe this poem is about the creation vs intelligent design theory. The man is saying that he is real; whereas the universe is replying with the fact that he is not required to do anything.
