Genesis Revisited

When God had completed the thought
It was pleased by what had been wrought.
The jewel that was called earth and covered with water
Two beautiful creations of both son and daughter.

The two could look up at the stars in the sky
And the entire universe was exposed; as in a heavenly sigh.
Their nakedness was as another gift they did receive
A gift of holiness and fruitfulness and never to deceive.

Each received the eternal gift of conscience and soul
As a mirror of their journey and to keep them whole.
To always know the difference between wrong and right
Always to share and care with others and receive the holy light.

Not satisfied with their gift of life
They ate of the evil seed and started their earthly journey of strife.
The journey would be a trial and fraught with pain
To help them their God gave them gifts again and again.

Their continuity carried the seed from one eon to another
No one was exempt; for it was passed on to every sister and brother.
Some would overcome by removing with the good deeds
Others idolized the gods of power, riches and selfishness; as their seeds.

God's gifts were many for both the body and soul
Yet we coninued to eat of the evil seeds and denied our God was whole.
The voice accompanied us for our own protection
As children of our God we would never feel rejection.

From prophets to commandments and even tablets of stone
Our God would never abandon nor leave us alone.
Despite the multiude of gifts heavenly sent
The evil seeds continue to multiply with each catastrophic event.

Another century about to begin and society is still awry
Such selfishness, misuse of power and godliness; make me want to cry.
Our time on earth is but a tick of a flys eye
But the damage we do to the future; so immense; that again I want to cry.

The evil seed does understand the word denial
But humanities goodness lasts but a short while.
We have the capacity with the help of our God
To remove the seeds and bury them in the sod.

We are creations in the image and likeness of our God and have life
Our God will not abandon us if we try to remove earthly strife.
God does understand our trials and tribulations which we have to cope
If there are no solutions forthcoming; at least we have the gift of hope.
