The Creation
|
Whether it is ZETA or SIGMA, it is all PHI BETA! |
And God stepped out on
space,
And far as the eye of God
could see
Then God smiled,
Then God reached out and
took the light in His hands,
Then God himself stepped
down--
And the earth was under His
feet.
Then He stopped and looked
and saw
And the white roses
blossomed,
Then God raised His arm and
He waved His hand "Pure white doves" Had split the air with their wings; And God said, “That’s good!”
Then God walked around,
Then
God sat down--
Up from the bed of the
river
Then into it He blew the
breath of life,
Then God walked around, And God looked around On all that he made. He looked on his world With all it’s living things And God said, “Something’s missing!”
He took the SIGMA man and made him rest- Only to create the missing element Of a world of royal blue and pure white treasures. He then sat down so he could think With his head in his hands, God thought and thought, Till he thought: “I’ll make me a woman!”
He cut him open and took out a rib. Kneeled down in the dust Toiling over a lump of clay Til he shaped it in His own image.
Then into it he blew the breath of life, And the woman became a living soul. The SIGMA arose and embraced the woman. He declared her as a ZETA woman- One who can share his colors And take on a piece of his name. For she is a woman FINER than aka or dst- And would bend her back farther than an SGRho.
Here on after, they went out Side-by-side, Hand-in-hand Conquering the world. Then God looked down To see his creation, And he said, "It is finished!” |
