Civil Lies
After God created the earth
Man recreated it and called it civilization.
When God created the earth
He had put in Eden’s garden trees, waters, and animals.
When man recreated his world, he made
A smart city of machines, computers, and skyscrapers.
God created humans. Man created a humanoid.
God formed the earth from a void
Man’s civilization was built
From rocks, metals, and other compounds;
It looks very solid and attractive
But its foundation, unknown, was built of straws
Of greed, deception, and subjugation.
The same world that creates injustice
The same that decries it.
The same world that tempts man into crimes
The same that punishes him.
Civil lies are the fruits of the new world
Man has become wise, wiser than his Maker
He explores, possesses, and dominates the earth
All for his God complex, not to serve but himself.
Today, he has become the robot
Programmed to self-destruct.
The logic of his computer brain makes his life
More and more a labyrinth
His heart like steel machines
Running an insensate course of life.
The Creator sends showers, light, pure air
And His affection to renew the earth
And that man should preserve it and its fullness.
I woke up to the cataclysm and Apocalypse
Of nuclear power, poisonous emissions, rage,
And nature's disaster!
