GOD









In the days before time

When the world bubbled

With molten hot lava

And was generally not solid

Enough to walk on

With any degree of safety

Small insect like creatures

Emerged from the sea



Slowly they grew

First - into bigger insects

Then - into other types of aphid

Before finally they diversified

Into sub groups and species

Mammals, lizards, wild fowl,

Penguins, sheep and squirrels

You get the picture



Eventually

Millions of years later

A quadruped decided to become a biped

And stood up



And now - here we all are

We owe those ancestors

Who stood up a lot

We are also indebted

To the small insect like creatures



But it is to God that most of our thanks should be targeted !!!!!



Yes - you heard me -

The Lord of hosts

The King of Kings

Who made you and me

All living things





He did it in a roundabout way

But that isn’t to say he

Didn’t do it







When I look all around me at this

Wonderful world

At the fruits of Gods loins

All freshly unfurled



I praise him

I worship him

I thank him so much

For the British

The Swedish

The Yanks

And the Dutch!



And I thank him for victory

So swift and so fast

For killing those towel heads

When we kicked Allah’s -



So don’t let’s argue about

The theory of creation

But worship the Lord

And praise him also

Amen.

This was definitely interesting enough to grab my intention and provoked my thoughts...enjoyed the reading regardless of whether I agree with every point or not.

Praised be all of God's creation, large and small and of all religions. Good start with the biological description. Thanks for your insight.

The poem started out so casual and then got stylized. It had a building effect and I guessing you wanted it that way. As for me, I like the more mystical way of writing and the consistancy of continual form. But, not always. Good job, Kelvin.
