   The Times said, "Let there be life."
   And there was life. From the dust
   Arose the ghosts in Basra,
   The Afghanistan phantoms,
   "Startled unvictims, undead
   Children yearning to breathe free.

   "Let life within the towers
   Separate from life below."
   And the tanks, bombs, and missiles
   Made it so. And The Times said,
   "Let shareholders, CEOs
   Rule the water, whatever
   Lives in it or drinks from it,
   And the earth and whatever
   Toils on it or roots in it,
   The seeds and those growing them,
   The air and all things that breathe,
   The heavens, all that glitters."
   Indeed, it was very good.

   And the word was made fresh
   With each morning's edition.
