In the beginning there was noth
ingness and God but waved his hand
And from the endless void there
sprang the beauty of the land
And high above the canyon walls
the diamond stars were new
And breezes blew from nothingness
and herbs and grasses grew
And silent creatures roamed the Earth
and multiplied their [Do7]kind
And man was but a molecule that
And mountains sprang and chaos
rang the overture of life
And rivers coursed the twisted
blade of natures sharpest knife
And cut beneath the rolling dales
While tidal waves and mighty gales
And sunshine fell upon the waves
and warmed the virgin land
And from the mud a drop of blood was left upon the sand.
And eagles flew from craggy peak
The drop of blood became a man,
the tree of life grew tall.
And perfect in his loneliness,
a rib pulled from his chest
of pulchritude and breast.
And from the tree of knowledge
God said they could not eat.
And perfect was their paradise unto the serpent at their
Tree of knowledge, tree of death,
upon the ground they trod.
The serpent said your eye's will
see and ye will be a god.
Defy the word and eat the fruit
And you will chart your destiny
and rule the Earth and sky.
And man was banished east of Eden.
For though the father sets the price,
the children pay the cost.
