A Cheeky View of Our World's History

A Cheeky View of Our World's History

God's 'hammer' killed most dinosaurs and gave small mammals' space
to be no lizard's dinner guests (where they were "flesh de jour.")
I wonder 'wrongs' they did (don't you?) to earn 'satanic' fires
though I'd still vote that lizards sin though few of them were liars
who spoke to mates with "forked tongues," I'd guess, that map detour
from "truth." Two hundred million years (and more?), they lived in Grace?

Compared to lizard's breath (by Calendar - call reign "one day"),
humanity's enjoyed just thirteen seconds of our sun!
Does that seem just or right? Man's cultures thrive on lizard turds!
Our ancestors once swung from trees (their offspring now are birds)!
The chickens we ingest were dinosaurs? God's having fun
if He's the One (not Joke?), if (he?)/(she?)/(it?) exists, I'd say!

There's God? I'll bet a sense of humor's kosher, if not loved.
My plan, let poems fuel my end of days, and bring life joy!
When Jews (1) proclaim that they're God's chosen people, I must laugh!
Pride turns God down again! Again! Are you a saint? We gaffe
who think we're better than (pride stunts our growth!) This girl? That boy?
There is no heaven one deserves through works! All angels shoved!

(1) In my understanding, we are all God's chosen people. We do have different talents, however. Some are more gregarious, some more fearful! Some are more sedentary, some more athletic! Some are more anxious, some more accepting! Some have musical abilities, and some do not.

The Old Testament's 'chosen' Jews (and/or other groups) can seem to be quite intellectual and hard-working. These qualities might be the result of both their culture and their genetics. That is certainly possible. For me, though, Grace defines what it means to be 'chosen' by God (and it is a gift to all)!
