IN CREATION MYTHS
A COMMON THEME
HAS GODS
INVOLVED IN SIBLING SEX
RAPE
MURDER
TURF WARS
BUTCHERY
STRUGGLES FOR POWER
THE WORLD MADE
BY THEIR CHILDREN'S BODIES
OR PARTS THEREOF
A CREATION STORY
AS CONCEIVED BY MEN
BUT WHEN THE JEWISH SCRIBES
SURROUNDED
BY BABYLONIAN IDOLATRY
DROWNED IN FOREIGN GODS
TO WHICH THE JEWS
WERE SUSCEPTIBLE
REWROTE AND EDITED
THE GENESIS STORY
TO GIVE THEIR DISPLACED COUNTRYMEN
HOPE
AND VISION
THEY INCORPORATED OF COURSE
SOME OF THE OLD BABYLONIAN TALES
SUCH AS THE FLOOD
AND THE TOWER OF BABEL
BUT WHEN IT CAME TO CREATION
THEY DID A HUNDRED AND EIGHTY
NO STRUGGLE
NO CONSTANT SEX
AS THE EGYPTIANS
DID WITH THE BROTHER AND SISTER
EARTH AND SKY
GOD SIMPLY SAID
BEGIN
AND IT WAS SO
GOD SAID
IT'S GOOD
NOW WHETHER IT TOOK
AN INSTANT
OR MILLENNIUMS
FOR FRUITION
IT DOESN'T MATTER
GOD SAID BEGIN
AND IT WAS
OUT OF NOTHING
IT WAS
BUT WHEN IT CAME TO MAN
THE SPIRIT THAT BROODED OVER THE ABYSS
BREATHED INTO HIM A SOUL
AND MADE HIM THE CAPSTONE OF HIS CREATION
AND GOD SAID
THAT'S GOOD
AND THE JEWS KNEW THAT MAN WAS SPECIAL
MADE
NOT FROM THE SWEAT OF BATTLE
THE BLOOD DROPS OF WAR
THE SEMEN OF SEX
GOD SAID BEGIN
AND IT WAS
GOD SAID
LET US MAKE MAN
AND IT WAS SO
AND IT WAS GOOD
NO STRUGGLE
OH GOD TOLD A FISHERMAN'S JOKE
WHEN HE ASKED JOB
IF HE COULD CATCH A WHALE ON A HOOK
BUT THE JEWS KNEW
EVEN THOUGH
THEY WERE FOREIGNERS
IN A FOREIGN LAND
THAT THEY
AND EVERY MAN WAS SPECIAL
NOT MADE BY ACCIDENT
BUT A DELIBERATE CREATION
THAT GOD
THEN
NOW
AND ALWAYS
WOULD HOLD THEM IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND
