Requiem for Piltdown

A big explosion in the night

Not a single soul in sight

Threw off a bunch of stuff to be

The universe and galaxies

In perfect order do they lay

Spinning circles everyday

And somehow in the midst of all

Our world is born on a little ball

Then out of the soup that somehow came

From all those rocks and all their flame

Unknown forces start to fall

And a little bug begins to crawl

The little bug grows into all that is

From prairie dogs to giant squid

From birds to germs to butterflies

To the monkey puzzle… herein lies

The greatest mystery of all

The monkey learns to stand up tall

And over many spans of time

These unknown forces taught him rhyme

And also, how to calculate

The way by which to enter space

And travel to the worlds unknown

Only to find there’s no one home

My friend you’ll find evolution’s true

When you meet God and God meets you

With your own eyes you’ll see the change

From what you are to something strange

When you find sin is your enemy

Repent and get down on your knees

Then God will take your life in hand

And put you into His game plan

A life of love where hate was king

A heart of joy that learns to sing

Compassion for your fellow man

Thanksgiving for what’s in your hand

You’ll learn to pray, depend on God

Consider carefully His Word

You’ll understand obedience

Why it’s right and makes good sense

And you’ll learn quite unnaturally

That it was God who created thee

And not just any God at all

For only one God took the fall

For all of mankind’s sin and shame

And only one God claims He came

Because He loves us
