Time to update this ancient text

Once upon a time even before

There was time even before 

There was the nothing out of

Which particles boiled in 

And out of existence there

Was AM Who realized

One day we say one day but

Of course since there were no

Days the closest we can say

Is one day AM realized He could

Love imperfect things and

Imperfect things could with a

Little help love Him back

When AM realized this I mean 

To say AM realized that is

Created them and all the things

They needed like time space

Cushions kittens air plus the

Math that held it all together

Now AM knew these things were

Imperfect this is going to take 

Time AM said since the imperfect 

Lack eternality at least 

On one end likewise space 

Else they’d not exist something 

Had to give worst was they’d

Know absolutely nothing to

Start have to learn as they went

Fumbling in the dark light was

Easy dark even easier it was 

Where light wasn’t between 

Knowing nothing then 

Knowing things one by one

What a shock took them what 

Seemed like forever just to discover

They were not the rocks or the

Trees or the wolves or each other

Soon they could point to mothers

Who usually fed them as babies

Taught them to hunt pretty much

To get food fetch off herself

Fathers were centuries off if

The sap ran high enough and the 

Season was right their sisters

Started to smell interesting

Allowed them to do some 

Weird stuff that felt good

But once that was done it was

Back to finding food fighting

With brothers for the best sisters

Or running away to try again

Another day until they started

Writing things down when they 

Asked themselves where the 

Hell did we come from nobody

Remembered it had been so long

For a large part of the time

They didn’t even have words

So they couldn’t pass the knowledge

Along from one generation 

To another if they had it 

We’ve got to come up with 

Some sort of explanation

The kids just keep asking us 

How where when why we’ve 

Barely time to find food

Fight for the best babes and

Get to nap in the sun
