Poem
The flood waters had drawn back Land made its debut The past gone and over With nothing but hope in view Hard work and labor ahead Building and creating...what Grown minds can't forget experience No matter how one sought ...to begin again After a time of planting and pruning Harvest came in fullness of glory Lending God's blessing To the legendary story Funny how a flood can wash away life But not bring one to self control The father "god" released himself To the lusts of his consuming soul ...in celebration of humanity What did Cush know before That seeped under the skin to once again Reveal the nakedness of humanity And the sepulcher of sin Had LOVE been present with Noah His response could not have been a curse Forgiveness and compassion Would have covered even the worst ....desires He walked away with a fear of self And exalted himself in fear and shame He would never need that presence again When he forged a powerful, worship base...of a name He would create a world of debauchary Where twisted passions are indulged Men and women could experiment And the nakedness of man bulged ...in plain sight Kingdoms came and went throughout the ages Merging and assimilating with one Osiris and Isis, pagan gods Yet "freedom" displays their symbols under GOD and GUN All of civilization has been touched by failure To respond appropriately to fear Written history slants truth to serve agendas With peanuts and beer ...with a wink of the eye The system hides at the height of education The breaking down of a flowing mind Add a little "god" to the knowledge And one can operate outside of the confines of time Raising humanity above the sludge of soul Into the heavenlies of a magical god Using the terrors and horrors of the past To make a paved road, much easier to trod ...to the ALL SEEING EYE Education under the guise of religion Is the perfect place to hide humanity's fear We wonder if there is a difference, choice can make That will bring down an all-consuming fire to sear Man's conscience to perfection, the sainted election Of those who will go into the next world, without sin How can GOD deliver humanity, anew Without ONE failing again...and again ...nothing new under the sun Written by Trudy Schrader on 05-16-2018
