Age Long Question
(poems go here) The pen glides across paper
Ink clashing with parchment
Creating an image
Shoulders of hills emerge
Valleys level the land
In the distance
The dark, ominous mountains lurk
These cascading structures
Challenging anyone to cross
The pen tattoos the landscape to the surface
A familiar story, it seems
The story of a supernatural being
Whose scalpel carves out oceans, mountains, and canyons
Creating spectacles that puzzle the human brain
The Genesis story
He sculpts man, a supreme being
Who dominates the animals
He reigns with a female companion
And within a week
The Earth is complete
Is there a being such as this?
One that creates a lustful selfish man
Who is thirsty for war
One that creates weapons that dismantle the Earth
One that is placed at the focal point of countless wars
Or is he just a benevolent spectator,
A watchmaker just creating a landscape
And letting it take on a mind of its own.
