Who was the God of the Dinosaurs?


Who was the God of the Dinosaurs?       
The God of the rocks and trees-             
   The God of the trilobite minions galore     
Who was the God of these?                    
Who was the God of the Ocean Tide-    
Washing away as we speak?                  
          And who is the God that which in there abides
From mountaintop down to the creek?  
 Who is the God of the birds and squirrels?
      Of the seeds which they pluck from the land?
           The God of the white and blue Hurricane Swirls
Who is the God of the sand?                    
Who was the God of the Dinosaurs?       
 Millions of years ago -                              
When they arched their head                   
In holy dread                                           
What name did they upward throw?        
  (If in fact, a name could they know).         
The Lavas did expound                           
     And so shook the ground                              
 The Volcanic Upthrust                             
 Did not lead one to trust                            
 In Beings Devine                                     
  Or Suns that would shine                          
  Without blinking                                       
 Or sinking                                                
 Into night                                                 
It was Fright!                                          
From deep Winter Solstice                      
What prayers,what poultice                     
 Were offered on that strand                      
By Neanderthal Man?                            
What Name did he roar                           
To settle his score                                  
What offering high                                 
To what Name did he cry                      
 To the Sky,                                             
Which rushed by                                    
And rushed by                                       
And rushed by -                                     
    'Til Standing Stones stood                           
Far apart from the Wood                       
Then Ziggurats large                              
With Pharohs in charge?                        
Who was the God of all of the Tribes    
   Of humans who've walked on the globe?
         Of whom was it written by holymen, scribes -
Enshrouded in cassocks and robes?      
And Temples                                         
And Crosses                                          
And Priests under trees                          
Did commune with the bees,                 
And "Allah Akbar"                               
Was shouted afar                                    
And people did fall on their knees.       
And Bibles were thumped                      
(Warning of the Last Trump)                  
People cried for Messiah                        
From Torahs held higher                        
 And Dharma and Karma                         
 Made some people warmer                      
 And the Sky rushed by                            
 And the Sky rushed by...                         
In whose Name was there War?            
For whose glory fought for?                  
Whose triumph?                                     
Whose will?                                           
Whose mission fulfilled?                        
What God called for blood?                   
What God was for Peace?                     
What God was for Love?                      
What God for Relief?                            
 And the Pain and the Pain                     
With nothing to gain                              
(Except to cause strain)                         
When to walk down the lane                 
With a Musical strain                             
Would cause less of a stain                   
On the Culture -                                   
And vultures,                                        
             Would need not to fly                                        
Where people now lie,                         
And the Sky rushes by                        
And the Sky rushes by...                     
     Then, who was the God of the Dinosaurs?
Of Beasts, both predator and prey?      
If they opened their beak                     
And started to speak                             
What do you think they would say?     
        Who was the God of the Yin and the Yang?
Of Man and Woman and Child?         
Who is the God of Civilization?          
Who makes us yearn for the Wild?     
            So who was the God of the Monolith Stones?
Of carvings and feathers and Masks?  
        Who is the God of the Way That is Shown?
    Who comforts us all in our tasks?            
             Who was the God of all of these? (you say)     
Who is the God of today?                   
Whoever He is, She is what It is -      
And always has been that way,         
           (No matter what Name we pray).
