"When you till the ground
    it will no longer
    yield its strength."

Now what?

God zapping the soil
    because someone
    commits a crime?

Sounds like superstition
    or pagen curses.

On the other hand
    it sounds
    horribly modern.

Defoliated battlefields
    slay the exposed
    and destroy crops.

Nuclear blasts
    kill our brothers
    and poison the soil.

Where man violates brother
    even the soil
    protests.

"When Adam lived 130 years..."

You're not goint to
    believe this
    And maybe you're not
    supposed to.

Adam was a father
    at age 130
    and lived 800 years more!

Seth fathered at 105
    and lived on
    807 years.

It leaves one feeling
    somewhat inadequate
    and underpowered.

We wonder about this...
    and some enjoy fighting
    to evoke belief.

We get the notion
    that the message is...
    these guys were
    extra–ordinary!

What we need to know is
    how they did it
    without breaking
    the Social Security system!
