REVERSE CREATION

Are you looking for a speech choir piece? Here is the my best suggestion for you. This is written by anonymous author and I used this piece for my Developmental Reading class.

The trees that bloom unexpectedly to bring unexplainable beauty.

In the end, man destroyed the heaven that was called earth.

The earth had been beautiful until the spirit of man moved over it and destroyed all things.

And man said…..

Let there be darkness….. and there was darkness.

And man liked the darkness; so he called the darkness “security”;

And he divided himself into races and religions and classes of society.

And there was no evening and no morning on the seventh day before the end.

And man said….

Let there be strong government to control us in our darkness.

Let there be armies to control our bodies, so that we may learn to kill one another neatly and efficiently in our darkness.

And there was no evening and no morning on the sixth day before the end.

And the man said,

Let there be rockets and bombs to kill faster and easier;

Let there be gas chambers and furnaces to be more thorough.

And there was no evening and no morning on the fifth day before the end.

And the man said,

Let there be drugs and other forms of escape, for there is this constant annoyance….reality

which is disturbing our comfort.

And there was no morning and evening on the fourth day before the end.

And the man said,

Let there be division among the nations, so that we may know who our common enemy is.

And there was no morning and no evening on the third day before the end.

And finally the man said…..

Let us say that God thinks…….as we think

                                    Hates…..

                                   And kills……

And there was no morning and no evening on the second day before the end.

On the LAST day there was a great noise on the face of the earth.

Fire consumed the beautiful globe, and there was….. SILENCE.

The blackened earth now rested, to worship the one true God;

And God saw all that man had done….

And in the silence over the smoldering ruins….

HE WEPT.
