MYTHS
I’VE BEEN READING A LOT
OF THE CREATION/DELUGE STORIES
COMMON TO THE MESOPOTAMIAN AREA
GEOLOGISTS ARE SAYING
THAT WITHIN HISTORY’S MEMORY
THE MEDITERRANEAN
BLACK
CASPIAN SEAS
WERE FORMED
OR DEFORMED
THE FOLK MEMORY
OF THESE EVENTS WAS SO STRONG
THEY CREATED A GENRE OF DELUGE STORIES
OF WHICH GENESIS IS ONE
IN PRIMITIVE THINKING
THE FLOOD WAS THE GODS ANGER
AT MAN’S SIN
OR BY THE NOISE HE MADE
DISTURBING THEM
EITHER WAY GOD RUED HIS CREATION
LIKE DISGRUNTLED TRADESMEN
THEY WANTED TO DESTROY WHAT THEY HAD MADE
AND START ANEW
AFTER THE FLOOD
WHAT THEY ENDED UP WITH
PEOPLE LIKE NOAH AND HIS SONS
NO BETTER THAN THE ONES WHO WENT BEFORE
US
A SINFUL PEOPLE
THE GODS DECIDED
FURTHER INTERFERENCE
WOULD NOT PRODUCE BETTER RESULTS
UNLIKE THE JEWISH BIBLE
THERE WAS NO SENSE OF SIN
AND REDEMPTION
BUT ANNOYED GODS
HAVING A HISSY FIT
WHILE THE ROOTS OF GENESIS
MAY BE BORROWED
THE UNIQUENESS OF GENESIS
SHOWS A GOD
WHO MADE MAN
BECAUSE HE WANTED TOO
KNOWING FULL WELL
HIS CREATION WOULD GO ASTRAY
HE MADE US ANYWAY
