NOAH

NOAH
 
 
MAN HAS BEEN ON EARTH CIRCA 200,000 YEARS
WHICH TRANSLATES TO CIRCA 198,000 BC
WHEN MAN WAS IN THE GARDEN
 
NOAH LIVED CIRCA 1500 YEARS AFTER ADAM
WHICH TRANSLATES TO CIRCA 196,500 BC
 
MODERN BIBLE SCHOLARS ARGUE
 WHETHER THE STORY IS FACT
OR FICTION
 
SO MANY DATES ARE GIVEN FOR WHEN IT OCCURRED
OF WHICH MINE IS ONE
 
THE FLOOD EPIC
IS COMMON FOLKLORE IN MID EAST CULTURE
SO A FLOOD MUST HAVE HAPPENED LOCALLY
IT BECAME IN MEN’S MINDS
THE FLOOD
 
LIKE THE WORD TSUNAMI
BRINGS TO MEMORY
THE RECENT FAREAST DISASTER
 
THE BIBLE IS NOT HISTORY
NEITHER BIOLOGICAL
NOR GEOLOGICAL
 
IT’S LITERATURE
A BOOK OF MORALS
A BOOK OF TARGETS
WE SO OFTEN MISS
 
FINDING THE ARK ON A MOUNTAIN TOP
DOES NOT MAKE FOR A BETTER WORLD
BUT RESCUING THOSE
FOR WHOM THE WORLD DOES NOT CARE
WILL
IF WE HAVE THE WILL

 
THE STORY GOES
THAT GOD WAS DISGUSTED WITH HIS PEOPLE
HE WANTED TO DESTROY THEM
BUT FOR ONE GOOD MAN
HE WOULD HAVE
 
I WILL GIVE MY CREATION
A CHANCE TO START AGAIN
IT WAS A PLAN
IT DIDN’T WORK
 
THE NEW MAN BECAME LIKE THE OLD MAN
IT NEEDED A GOOD BOOK
IT NEEDED CHRIST
 
SO WHETHER IT IS THE ARK
OR THE GOOD SHIP LOLLIPOP
OUR CONDUCT IS MORE IMPORTANT
