I Found a Spaceship

Numbers (From the Old Testament) 11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 11:2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched. 11:3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them. 11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, Like something out of Goonies Exploring a childhood cave I found a hidden entrance Piled rocks it did save Pristine with no graffiti Perhaps the first human to come this way I stumbled upon a hidden spaceship Waiting for my soul to take I powered up the engine Exhilaration surging through me Just with a simple thought To another star system I would be For the first time in my life No one telling me what to do Justifying my need for power Perhaps as you would too? I zip to a primitive world Where the females look so pleasing And I display my virile power Morality ridiculous and fleeting Striking at my own fears And lifetime of limitations I declare myself a God Destroying any asking questions I roar, I am the Lord!!! You will have no others before me!!! I force them to pay taxes Taking women for booty Demanding my payment of tribute Always more women and gold Then I load up the precious metals To be returned home and sold Then I have a book written Rewarding those playing along And I make myself a written deity Justified through scripture and song Then I take my stolen plunder And return to my home Rich and justified in my actions My only judgment is my own Years pass as they will My curiosity gets the best of me And I return to the cave Then wormhole back to see This new religion has taken root And wars are fought in my name Chuckling as I shake my head Wondering if I should feel the slightest shame
