People are abusing and disputing
and this was not foreseen -
an unwanted consequence
of their autonomy
Of course God can change his mind
Away with creation
away with the parting of the waters
in heaven and on earth:
a flood, and over the bygones!
One more time: different plan!
Come on, a new beginning
a salvation and the acceptance
that there just is evil
in man, but softened
by the new progenitor
who promises to behave well
towards the earth and the people
and to be careful of them
