What If the Story Were True

Fredrick Zydek

What if the story of Noah and his ark
were true?
What if God told him to build
a boat big enough to hold thousands
of animals and Noah’s little family?

What if it were true that it rained for forty
days and forty nights until the earth

was flooded and that by the time there
was dry land again, every creature except
those who lived in the sea, a few birds
that could fly or perch on floating debris,
and an occasional human who was raised
standing up and fighting back, who found

boats or rafts or someway of hanging on
until the rains stopped falling.
What if it
wasn’t a flood they traveled but a trip
from one planet to another.
What if the
tale is all that’s left of a people who had
to abandon one planet for another and

took their animals and plants with them?
What if the trip took forty generations?
What if when they landed they no longer
knew how they got into the ship or where
it started out from. Would that tell us why
some animals are carnivores and others

herbivores and friends of man?
Would it
still mean that the God of the universe can
become so angry over how people live their
lives that he’ll try to kill off most of them
again? What if the God they brought with
them on the ark simply has a bad disposition?
