I Found a Spaceship

Numbers (From the Old Testament)
11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD
heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them,
and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 11:2 And the
people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was
quenched. 11:3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of
the LORD burnt among them. 11:25 And the LORD came down in a cloud, and
spake unto him,



Like something out of Goonies
Exploring a childhood cave
I found a hidden entrance
Piled rocks it did save
Pristine with no graffiti
Perhaps the first human to come this way
I stumbled upon a hidden spaceship
Waiting for my soul to take

I powered up the engine
Exhilaration surging through me
Just with a simple thought
To another star system I would be
For the first time in my life
No one telling me what to do
Justifying my need for power
Perhaps as you would too?

I zip to a primitive world
Where the females look so pleasing
And I display my virile power
Morality ridiculous and fleeting
Striking at my own fears
And lifetime of limitations
I declare myself a God
Destroying any asking questions

I roar, I am the Lord!!!
You will have no others before me!!!
I force them to pay taxes
Taking women for booty
Demanding my payment of tribute
Always more women and gold
Then I load up the precious metals
To be returned home and sold

Then I have a book written
Rewarding those playing along
And I make myself a written deity
Justified through scripture and song
Then I take my stolen plunder
And return to my home
Rich and justified in my actions
My only judgment is my own

Years pass as they will
My curiosity gets the best of me
And I return to the cave
Then wormhole back to see
This new religion has taken root
And wars are fought in my name
Chuckling as I shake my head
Wondering if I should feel the slightest shame
