When the Universe created the Universe and allowed for challenge 

It was quite open to change and the preponderance of ageing times

Youth is not a crime and the respect for seniority has to be earned

Oh my Lord let there be earth under heaven it might have intuited

A primordial bang and atoms swished as mute mutations ensued


It had not considered that people were to talk back or quite forward 

Like moody teenagers or wayward sycophants refuting the Source


Seven days later the mess was complete and an apple indigested 

Abel was disabled and begetting begot generations of philistines


Time is a stretchable concept but conception quick and unpredictable

Dinosaurs passed in the flash of a pang before stones turned to bronze

And into dogma of gold mined for the pockets of inequality and gluttony


Arcs for walking on water and one lousy fish for many wretched souls

A sole and meagre bouillabaisse yet diamond soles on feet in contempt


Dinosaurs came and went stones turned to bronze and with it tools

Of destruction where synthesis and harmony should have prevailed

But that was then and there and today is here and now and counting


We have lost the abacus in computerized algorithms and the plot in the

Process of post modernity and post selfies and trivia on glittering face book

Discarded essence and existential meaning on face value of tale telling times

An icon once had a different meaning as smiling faces are arrested in botox


But not all is lost when social media and mediums hex and bewitch the planet 

Opium for the masses finds novel experiences addicted to shallow delight

Ten Year Challenge before and after a self-righteous pride in rigid acclaim


A decade is a miniscule timeline of Self that speck of dust in a galaxy

And thus I cherish my wrinkles the grey in my hair the scars and defeats

Have no need for glossing and photo shop and for the denial of passing

A crooked tooth here or there and a broken crown of vital humanity

And thus I will not diminish my hunger for living in the moment of truth
