DINOSAURS

THE MEEK INHERITORS

 Mighty Monarch of young Earth 
Black against the Rising Sun 
Your Voice like THUNDER Shook the Hills! 
You Roared to greet the Terrible Dawn! 
 
Yours was the way of strength and size! 
Of prideful being and fright-full might! 
We tiny shrews who sucked your eggs 
Ran like frightened Lunar Shadows at the 
coming of the Light! 
 
You couldn't comprehend your fate 
Or to the heights those little mice would RISE 
That we who cowered beneath your feet 
Would grow to soar through Alien Skies! 
 
We couldn't comprehend OUR fate! 
We ran to flee the Dangerous Morn! 
Oh that such shivery little nothing beasts 
Would roar to greet a  Different Dawn! 

Dinosaur Heaven

 Heaven has humongous places
For googolplexes of strange races
Our version of bliss to others is hell
Our hell to others a SHADY DELL.

In Dinosaur Heaven the ferns grow tall
Meteors and tar pits exist not at all
T. Rex lives on fern and pine
And the littlest saurs grow elephantine

The sky above is clear and blue
The ground beneath is firm and true

There the brainy senti-saurs
Were the ones that won the Stars.
And Angels come with scaly wings
And sing as sentient reptiles sing

There dinosaurs with active brains
Who like to play fun thinking games
Wonder what a sight to see
An alternate MAMMAL world would be.
 

Dragon Dreams


When Dinos looked up at the sky

What Dragon Dreams did they desire?

What longings stirred their Reptile Hearts?

What set their scaly Souls on FIRE?

Evolution says the tomes

Consists of strength and skill not hope

The ones who can outbreed the ones

Who simply cannot cope

But look! Most Dinos lost their genes

To meteor's Fiery Snuffling crash

Skillessness was not the cause

That doomed them to a dead-end past

But some did change themselves to birds

With wings and ways to reach the skies!

Strength and skill were not their Ark

The genes that longed to SOAR survived!

 

WINGS

God did not destroy the Dinosaurs

He gave them wings!

Why oh why do we ever doubt

That He will do the same for us?

They didn't die, those mighty beasts

But tooth and claw and

Snarls and roars were tamed to

Chirps and feathers!

If God can tame the mighty Dinosaur

Why oh why do we ever doubt

That He will do the same for us?

The Dinosaurs were huge with pride.

Defiantly they roared at rocks that fell

For all the good it did.

The rock still fell.

If God can humble the mighty Dinosaur

Why oh why do we ever doubt

That He won't do the same to us?

Time is God’s strong healer

It raises beasts and casts them to the dust

Yet thorough all of this a Golden Thread

treads down evolution’s path

It goes Somewhere.

Oh yes oh yes, if God can fell

The Mighty Dinosaur

And yet raise him to the soaring skies.

Why oh why do we find it

So very hard to believe

That He won't do the same to us?
