The rest of creation
The Rest of Creation
I wonder if God meant
to fill the world
quite as full of us
as it's become.
I can't believe
He saw us from the first
as cuckoos in the nest
edging all His
other creatures out.
And when he used such words
as fruitful, multiply,
dominion...
did He stop to think
what we might make of them?
They were a license,
we supposed,
to bully and abuse
the rest of His creation.
To procreate among ourselves
without restraint.
