Food of the Gods
The deadly comet is coming
Earth stands in its way
Like a splice between Armageddon
And Independence Day
Spaceships above our cities
Breaking new, "We're not alone"
Like a new Dunkirk evacuation
To take us to a new home
Trusting my intuition
I elect not to leave
Everyone I know boards a craft
To the 'Come Sail Away' theme
My heart in desperate turmoil
As the ships are flying away
Never has "alone" been so real
As on this heart-wrenching day
I watch the coming comet
Knowing my time is almost gone
Then to my utter amazement
It comes to a complete stop
And then it dawns on me
This was all a gigantic ruse
Our separation from our birthplace
Was something we had to choose
Soon after the evacuation
Wondrous plants begin to grow
Mother Earth was ready to evolve
Now vegetation with a pulsating glow
Feeling like Adam reborn
I slowly take a bite
And then I'm suddenly aware
As my mind grows toward the sky
I feel myself transcending
From limitations always believed
That concept is losing its meaning
As god fructose enters my bloodstream
And I suddenly know everything
As my shell breaks like a dam
It's my birthright to ask, "Who am I?"
And I finally realize that "I Am"
