Nazca Lines Poem by Randy McClave

While in a plane up high in the sky
Only then when I look down I finally understand why,
As I saw the designs on the desert land
And I saw the drawings on the sand.
When I saw the Nazca lines in Peru
For years people like me marveled what someone drew,
I knew of the drawings though I am no expert
As I fly over the Peruvian desert.
I saw over 300 figures there
As I saw them flying high up in the air,
They were composed with over10,000 lines
With different animal shapes and other signs.
Were they here for thousands of centuries
Just to appease,
Then I thought why would man want to draw them
How would or could it benefit him.
Seeing them from Heaven would be the best viewing spot
Then I had a revelation, a quick thought,
Of course I can't prove this ironclad
But, I wonder if the Peruvian desert was God's sketchpad.
