An English teacher in my school suspects a student of plagiarizing a
poem, but we have not been able to find a source.  I am hoping you can
help.  The poem is a Genesis creation story originating in the ghetto.
It starts:

        Before the beginning God created God

        In the beginning
        God created the ghettos and slums
        And God saw that this was good.
        So God said
        "Let there be more ghettos and slums."
        And there were more ghettos and slums.

And the poem continues with God creating heroin, genocide, people,
capitalism, and more.

If you know this poem, please contact me.

TIA,
