Genesis Flood 

From Heaven’s portals God grieves
Of all men living only one believes 

Gen 6:1-9 

In year five hundred of Noah’s life
The earth burst full with violence and strife
Noah was a man of faith and favor
He trusted his God and decried the Slaver
Of hate and lust and acrid waste
To weigh in the balance what he must face 

Beautiful born are the daughters of men
Given to marriage for God’s sons again
But spiting the Lord who gave them breath
Inviting depravity, sow seeds to death 

In these same days of God’s voice calling
Was the race of giants, Nephilim, fallen
The high and mighty who would not know God
Warriors and builders, hunting great game
The inverse of heroes in unrefined fame

The fallen, mighty of great renown
In darker arts, blaspheme, expound
For the lesser gods have required
To serve them well and bide desire
Pass their young ones through hell’s fire 

Murder as common as eating food
Man’s heart continually despising good
Populous defiant before God’s face
Only Noah walked in faith and grace

The love of God reigned from Heaven
Evil held the world in enslavement
In tears of rain by clouds of death
The entire earth would lose its breath

So God affirmed destruction of earth
All sons of men and animals, birthed
The creeping, walking and the flying
The heart of God, broken, crying

The call to Noah was to build an ark
To rise above the floods of dark
For to this point it never rained:
Water emerged under misted terrain

(At the edge of air, before deep space
God created a crystalline place:
Eliminating UV and Gamma type waves
Assuring good health and length of days

Encasing earth’s air in crystal water
Was the prime source of flood’s slaughter)
The unknowing crowds clamored with laughter
Before Noah’s message of water disaster

The generations of Noah were perfection
He was just and faithful to God’s direction
His walk by faith was saving grace
For transport remnant of the human race 

 Gen. 6:10-22 

Noah’s sons, Shem, Japheth and Ham
First descendents of first saved man
Shunning the insidious, sought God’s face
A heritage for History would take their place 

The earth, a bastion for wanton violence
The walk by faith, an endangered reliance
God looked through tears at Creation’s crown
One heeded His voice to face judgment’s sound

Those beloved, wicked, relished disobedience
Whose parching thirst, imagined the worst
Shedding all virtue, for slaying excellence
Consumed one another, whether sister, brother
Who by ungodly perceptions, pursued indiscretions

God said to Noah, “Before I end the flesh of all living
I provide you passage in directions I’m giving
You shall construct an ark of gopher wood
[A haven afloat for young beasts to their good”]

“Seal it with pitch within and without
[For above water’s destruction, in holy abduction
On long journey buoys you, dry, without doubt”]

“And in this fashion with passion twill build
In cubits prescribed and animals filled
The run of the ark, three hundred long
Height will be thirty and fifty it’s breadth”
Saving male and female creatures their breath

God commanded Noah install a window light
A vent for air and hope for sight
And the door would be cut in the side of this ark
Enclosing all within as skies grew dark

An entrance for three levels, assigned to each floor
The Lord, God Himself would be closing the door
The faithful words of His God would be heeded
For covenants’ fulfillment, they had all each needed

To gather beasts born of great and the small
Cattle, fowl, creepers and food for them all
And Noah did all that His Lord had required
For one hundred years, he labored, inspired

His report of rains and flood’s delegation                                                          
Was stranger than fiction to this generation 

While in midst of all culture was a great party
The stout, rich, mighty, living quite hardy
Noah and sons, "sick prophets of doom"
Had foretold of flood to descend and upend
The whole earth as a tomb
