Let’s

Ponder

The Notion

Of The Great Creation…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you think that existence began this way?

With God making sketches in books?

Did She sit up above, in a heav’nly café,

And plan out uniqueness’s? Nooks?

Were patterns determined or did they emerge

As She played with ideas flowing fast?

Did it all come together, in an energy surge?

And were we, in Her likeness, really last?

Or did she plan us first, then conjure the rest

So that we would adore and obey?

Then wait ‘til the universe looked its best

Before opening Eden to play?

And in the end

It was good.

I wonder,

Was it all

For our

Pleasure

Or Hers?

And does it even matter?

Adamant about a life she knew she could create

She focused not on here, now, truth; began to fabricate

A storyline, connection-filled, that spoke of great success

A family tree, community, no violence, duress

She left behind the hardships, the people who’d mistreat

Forgot about the nay-sayers whose goal was her defeat

She moved across the country. She got a new address.

She changed her name, enrolled in school, vowed never to confess

The peculiar caste from which she rose

The brutal chapter, finally closed.
