Food of the Gods

The deadly comet is coming Earth stands in its way Like a splice between Armageddon And Independence Day Spaceships above our cities Breaking new, "We're not alone" Like a new Dunkirk evacuation To take us to a new home Trusting my intuition I elect not to leave Everyone I know boards a craft To the 'Come Sail Away' theme My heart in desperate turmoil As the ships are flying away Never has "alone" been so real As on this heart-wrenching day I watch the coming comet Knowing my time is almost gone Then to my utter amazement It comes to a complete stop And then it dawns on me This was all a gigantic ruse Our separation from our birthplace Was something we had to choose Soon after the evacuation Wondrous plants begin to grow Mother Earth was ready to evolve Now vegetation with a pulsating glow Feeling like Adam reborn I slowly take a bite And then I'm suddenly aware As my mind grows toward the sky I feel myself transcending From limitations always believed That concept is losing its meaning As god fructose enters my bloodstream And I suddenly know everything As my shell breaks like a dam It's my birthright to ask, "Who am I?" And I finally realize that "I Am"

So, where's Eve and your snake? This reads like a prequel; write us a sequel.
