AFTER THE FLOOD

After the flood came a new beginning 
Of building a world full of meaning 
Of growing love that last a lifetime 
Of raising friendships that shine everytime 

Every being were given their chance 
Of sweet friendship and warm romance 
To fill the world with their fruitfulness 
And rid the earth of sinfulness 

Then came the age of wisdom and fate 
The world was rid of strife and hate 
But man's hunger for realization 
Drew him away from his own conviction 

Then came the age of enlightenment 
Everyone else had his own moment 
The world came too far to tame 
And every eyes and ears came lame
