Read director Darren Aronofsky's 7th grade poem that inspired the 2014 blockbuster hit 'Noah'

Noah might have taken home huge box office numbers this past weekend, but the biblical epic had surprisingly humble beginnings. It turns out the film adaptation of the Bible story was partly inspired by a poem written by director Darren Aronofsky in the 7^th grade.

Variety dug up the poem. Check it out right here:

The Dove

A Poem by Darren Aronofsky

January 13, 1982

 

Evil was in the world

The laughing crowd

Left the foolish man at his ark

Filled with animals

When the rain began to fall

It was hopeless

The man could not take the evil crowd with him

But he was allowed to bring his good family.

 

The rain continued through the night

And the cries of screaming men filled the air

The ark was afloat

Until the dove returned with the leaf

Evil still existed.

 

When the rainbows reached throughout the sky

The humble man and his family knew what it meant

The animals ran and flew freely with their newborn

The fog rose and the sun shone

Peace was in the air

And it soon appeared in all of man's heart.

 

He knew evil would not be kept away

For evil and war could not be destroyed

But neither was it possible to destroy peace

Evil is hard to end and peace is hard to begin

But the rainbow and the dove will always live

Within every man's heart.
