Analysis of It's all in the bible



Moses was wondering
 about God's purpose for him
 he prayed and prayed and prayed and prayed
 and one day a miracle happened
 the sea opened up
 he took his people and went across

Virgin Mary conceived a child
 without having sexual intercourse
 was it from the holy ghost
 or are we being brainwashed?

Eve was made of Adam's rib
 that was some clever handyman
 was this for real or a joke
 for me it has no common sense

My arrows are aimed at the fresh generations
 who hopefully can think for themselves
 and know that lots of things are true
 but some things are not accomplishable
 just cause it is irrational
 as much as you do believe

2023: In a world full of chaos, creativity is one of the helping things to keep yourself sane. ******************************** 2014: A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen than you have something very special. - Nelson Mandela - ******************************** I am from the land of tulips and mills. Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom. I like to participate in cases which can make a difference for myself, my surroundings and the earth. My wish: humanity in a non-dualistic society. more…
