All the theories are very intelligent. I feel that there may be another perspective to view it from: Many a hand (All who have lived and now live on Earth) has scaled the grand old face of the plateau (Earth) Some belong to strangers and some to folks you know (Your relatives and everyone else) Holy ghosts and talk show hosts are planted in the sand (Burials all the same. We all end up with the same outcome) To beautify the foothills and shake the many hands (Death regenerating the Earth. Fertilizer.) There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds (A simplistic view of God) You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs actions when you got words (An unresponsive God who only communicates via the written word, which comforts most.) When you're finished with the mop then you can stop And look at what you've done The plateau's clean no dirt to be seen And the work it took was fun (God enjoying the cycle of life that is the Earth) There's nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop And an illustrated book about birds You see a lot up there but don't be scared Who needs actions when you got words Well the many hands began to scan around for the next plateau (Everyone who is in search of the answers to life) Some said it was Greenland and some said Mexico (Clues left without answers; i.e. the pyramids and other monuments) Some decided it was nowhere except for where they stood (The answer lies within) But those were all just guesses, wouldn't help you if they could (Endless cycle of disappointed souls who seek the answer to life and never receive it. Forbidden knowledge.) |
