PONDER

Created not creator
judged not judge
life is rated not fated
a blank page on which a smudge

like the grass that is green
who decided its sheen
like the sky that is blue
who named this hue

dust to adam
rib to eve
god gave him madam
and then leave

fissures to creation
and here we are today
a thousand bloodied nation
and frantic lives a day

a semblence to order
or an order to semblance
strange to ponder
a rhyme or a rhythm

a question followed by the mark
a mark to mark the question
strange is the ponderer
to ponder this question
