Six parents form one son or daughter <br />They draw them out from the primordial water <br />Whether heaven be perfect, or he'll be hotter <br />In the beginning, we came from water <br /> <br />We are formed by the care of a precious potter <br />Who needed to move first upon the water <br />Under many woes we've long forgot her <br />Evolution or Eve, we came from water <br /> <br />Though empires reign with anarchy & slaughter <br />And their cities' origins are raised by water <br />As so their most revered conquering father <br />Victim or victor, we came from water <br /> <br />Hear the oceans foretell the life of a daughter <br />The way she's held in the embrace of a devoted father <br />While surrounded by the truth of how men sought her <br />And though they most certainly forgot, we, regardless, still came from water <br /> <br />History traces why we have so fought her <br />Fallen mother, forgotten daughter <br />Billions of scenes show we raped, burned, hung, crowned, & shot her <br />Till when in sorrow she is finally drowned, till then it remains, we came from water <br /> <br />10/16/14<br /><br />Tim caffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-came-from-water/
