My Version

When God had completed the original significant thought
It was pleased by every life and emanation which had been wrought
The jewels that were to be earth and sun and to hold eternal water
Along with two beautiful creations of both a son and a daughter
The two could look up at the stars in the sky
And see an entire universe and never ask why
Their nakedness was another gift that each one did receive
Also gifts of children as an endless cycle never to deceive.

Each child received the eternal gifts of mind, conscience and soul
As mirrors of their journey and rightful acts to keep them whole
Along with free will to express the difference between wrong and right
Always to share and care and recognize at the end; the holy light
Not satisfied with their gifts of children and earthly life
They ate the evil seed of disobedience and started their journey of strife
Their time would be as a trial and fraught with pain
To help them God gave them gifts of children; again and again.

Their continuity would carry their seed from one eon to another
No one was exempt for it was passed on to every sister and brother
Some would cope and share in the distribution of good deeds
While others idolized gods of power, riches and selfishness, as seeds
God's gifts were many for those blest with a mind body and soul
Even when they continued to eat evil seeds and denied their God was whole
The voice did accompany them on their journey's for their own protection
As children of the living God they would never again feel rejection.

>From prophets to commandments and even tablets of stone
Their God would never abandon or leave them alone
Despite the multitude of gifts heavenly sent
The evil seeds continued to multiply with each catastrophic event
Another century about to begin and society is still awry
Selfishness, misuse of power and no one will ask why?
Our time on earth can be measured in the tic of a clock
Why damage our future and oft times hide from them the key to unlock?

The evil seed does understand the word denial
For it knows humanities goodness will last but a short while
Mankind has the capacity with the help of God
To remove the evil seeds and bury them in the sod
Creations in the image and likeness of God given life
God will not abandon if we try to remove earthly strife
The holy one understands trials and tribulations with which we have to cope
If there are no solutions at least the living will never lose hope.
