20 My Genesis
01 The Beginning 02 The Wandering 03 The Affirming
****************************************************************************************************
From old Africa we have all thus come
Through great distances, over many lands
Fifty thousand years was the span of time
Since our ancestors left in their small bands
Perhaps hard climate had forced them to go
Or some food shortage that grew so acute
Whatever it was they could stay no more
Or else death would come, so cruel and brute
No one could have thought what the future held
And how those poor folks would people the earth
For none could have seen or knowingly felt My Genesis
That these migrations were like a new birth Soneta 058
The first simple steps in that ancient age Anglicia
Became for the world a new story page AD 2003
Following the flight of birds and wild beasts
These simple men ceaselessly struggled on
Fighting to fulfil their own daily needs
And survive through time till their days be done
Across great deserts, mountains and rivers
They roamed the earth in search of better of life
A tribe of hunters and food gatherers
Who carried the seed of fine selfless love
In all continents they did multiply
To lay the future for the whole mankind
My Genesis Tillers of the earth, watchers of the sky
Soneta 059 Speeches did they make to convey their minds
Anglicia What a far journey, across time and space
AD 2003 Truly an epic of the human race
Feeling so humble I held my silence
To honour the ones who have brought me here
And passed on the gene of my existence
For the sake of life they all held so dear
Here I am today a mere legacy
Of those who struggled so hard to survive
Being a small branch of one ancient tree
And yet empowered to serve the One Life
Thus have I received from those who once lived
A life so precious and sense of purpose
To be what I am with all my belief My Genesis
To grow and expanse as life may propose Soneta 060
Knowing not what shall there be at the end Anglicia
To this task I must truthfully attend AD 2003
