Quiet, wild, and free it was.
Open, innocent, tame.
Being without trying to be it was.
Until man came.
Incredible as it appears
A conclusion that leaves one agape
Is the fact that for billions of years
The earth was managed by billions of things
The smartest of which was an ape.
Until man came.
There once was described in a book
In a chapter called Genesis
A garden much like this.
Until man came.
