Man is said to "descend" from the tree.
Like Brother to brother, they gaze 'pon each other,
each thinkin' "you're not kin to me."
The debate rages on 'mongst the scholars,
Scientist and Priest lead the fray,
Only one simple test, would lay it to rest;
Test the Earth and the Sea's DNA.
From the sea God sep'rated dry land,
Common DNA, don't you agree?
From dry land He brought forth from Pole South to Pole North,
herb with seed, and the fruit bearing tree;
Grasses galore, spreading mountain to shore,
in abundance; thus ended day three;
? To the Heaven He turned, Brought forth Moon, and Sun,
Stars by the millions, and more;
Gave the Moon charge o'er night, and the Sun charge o'er day,
And the Evenin' and Mornin', day Four.
Now the Oceans in turn, abundant life did not spurn,
Brought forth life by His Powerful decree;
Made the Whale, made the fish, made variety His wish,
Dolphin, Penguin, Shark, Flounder filled the Sea;
Winged birds did He make, from Eaglet to Drake,
Fowl of all kinds came alive,
Filled the sky with His creatures of diverse features,
And the Evenin' and Mornin', day Five.
Then to Land did He turn, for His power to wield,
Brot forth Cattle, Sheep, and Beasts of the Field;
Like the Fox and the Bear, And the Lion for King,
And the Wolf, from hilltop to hilltop doth sing;
Little beetles, no-see-ums, fleas, things with stingers,
Mammals, Marsupials, Creepers, night singers.
All the works of His hand, Him did please;
Then from the land, He brought forth "you"s and "me"s;
From the DNA pool, He raised US to rule,
giving dominion o'er Land and o'er Sea;
He gave man work to do, And a Garden did Fix,
And the Evenin' and Mornin', Day Six.
But He didn't stop there, He taught US 'bout prayer,
To say "thanks" for Him letting us know,
'Bout beginnings of things, and for reasons to sing,
And the meaning of, "God, bless my soul!"
God brought forth One by One; 'Til creation was done
All things from one DNA Pool
From the Sea, brought forth land, from which He made man,
Some scientists, Some Priests, and some fools!
But they all owe their "being" to one they're not seeing,
Because they flunked "DNA" School.
