A THEORY OF CREATION

A THEORY OF CREATION Listen creatures of the Earth! We ran out of room. If you can climb, get back to a tree. We’ll give you your day in history. One of us will sire a Darwin, you see. As for you Neanderthal man You don’t exactly fit into our plan. We know what to do! Creatures of the Earth Pay close attention! Some of us are moving in, At least those not quite of our perfection. It seems I am embarrassed to admit Each one we’re sending Is a lunatic.

Here here! Insane what?

Oy, oy Joe, I spy in your eye a wee wrinkle so wry that I feel I should laugh and not start to cry, the soulful you is in hiding the other side is residing and now presiding at judgements and theories how long your ear-is listening to hypotheses new when you know that we knew of the few that we chose to review. Oh golly you've got me going insane, who's to blame? Not the flame of existence just heaps of resistance to this and to that, that other claim and the moth will insist on crossing the flame when it wanted to fly in the rain. Tears of ironic sadness. Madness!! From a Nordic lunatic Annuccia, a distant cousin, many times removed, of Freia/Froya....or whatever.

Or were the mythical

Or were the mythical palaces of Heavens and Valhalla's, Hells and Hades the places of the sane? I hae me doots about any of these man-woven tales to be honest. If we think the rest of the planets insane what do we think of this one? Gaia the green and blue planet, one of the many planets in the known universe. We can make dreams of all and create poetry about all and how rich we are with words and creations, do the little birds(the old dynosaurs) have such a bad life without all our 'trappings'? Who knows Longobardolino? Annuccia
