When Things Returned To Green
The ruination of the mighty earth
Was started when explosions rocked the sky.
Ten years of darkness followed. . . then a heat,
And that is when the world began to fry!
Soon the oceans crept upon the coastlines.
Stubble lay in fields and great trees died.
No more was there order to the seasons.
Hopelessness prevailed. All nature cried.
But two superior (when darkness reigned)
Were born, a legacy to wizardry,
And 50 years kept hidden from Earth’s blight,
They’d grown alone contained beneath the sea.
Their under-water habitat released
And floated to the surface. What was seen
When they emerged and stepped onto dry land:
Were luscious fruits among lush splendid green!
With altered genes, they’d live perhaps forever.
But not in sin, for they could not perceive
A right from wrong. The garden’s jaded snake
Was stupefied to see Beth-Ann with Eve!
