The 6th Day

The Sixth Day
David J Walker

And on the 6th day
	God Said
Nothing of the kind
Nothing never mind
He Said 
	About 
Every beast of the earth

 and to every fowl of the air
 and every living thing that creepeth 
upon the face of the earth
wherein there is life

And God said
	Let there be Strife 
That every living thing 
Will know its alive
In its own perception 
	Let everything strive 
For terrestrial perfection 

And God saw 
everything that He had made
that it was very good 
And understood 
The evening and the morning 
were the sixth day.
