Literature Text

I awaken. I am one and WE are three
And I have seen the unspeakable nothing
Before WE founded the firmament.
I have always been established and I shall ever be.
Let US sail among the silent stars
And see the free hanging, free falling stars
And churn the celestial sea.
Let US for our long born purpose
Establish a light among the dust
To be our eye and rule for US
The day as the planets swirl and rust
Red clouds clutter up their skies
And the new world settles as Adam opens up his eyes.

And thus was the earth formed from the burning
Roilling gases and fragments of two dead worlds
And curls of poison burned the skies for time
That burns the mind at the contemplation
And the skies cleared  and WE cleared away the grime
Of time spent burning.
The Land WE built first.
WE dredged the lifeless land from the mother sea
And set the beasts to land and set from the water free.
Free breathing yet return to slake their thirst
And the beasts shall spread as a spreading pool
Of chaos and revel in the riot of life
WE shall use evolution as a tool
To take a little life and make it breed the best
Until the finest of our children; man is made manifest.

Disaster; not unforseen.

MY soldier servants turned against MY rule
And their prince-proud rebel tore them from MY hand
And Michael the Archangel who well deserves that name
Sent the rebel horde howling down to great
Gehenna burning to make amongst themselves
A kingdom built on shame and an independent land
Of butchery and regal resentment and laughter cruel.
He lives still and moving about the world
Like a lecher-lion, slaying who he can
With sin and dragging down to the din
Of Tartarus and the torture trials there.
I lead them there not. One leads oneself
To Tartarus, A place in which WE have no love
For the denzins of death have spat upon OUR Son
And children and driven at the dove's
Message and murder any beauty they may find.

Yet WE have seen ten thousand titans
Of man fall into dusty death
And Pagan wine run dry from golden rhytons
As my people sup their tears in cruel bondage!
By Babylon's brackish waters and the Nubian born
Nile they laboured and died to freedom, clinging to the cage
Of life many men had and do and mourn
The fact of death. WE have seen true destruction
In all it's grim finality and chaotic storm.
WE have seen the star-bloody eruption
Of countless dead galaxies and never wept
For WE are the architect and It is WE who must
Keep to the Order of things, the Order will be kept
Ticking in timeless aeons
Yea, I have seen the birth of all that is
In countless flaring neons and lights and sights
Which would break the mortal mind
To even glimpse a sight of.

The man beasts are born and are torn
From Africa and stand astride the world
A creator collossus and a beast with sin forlorn
And on the day one looked at the long built sky
And whispered "Why?" at the firmament unfurled
I was with him then.
He was the first-the ancient Abraham
Who's sons would be more than the firmament fire
Who would outlive Garden-girdled Babylon and Tyre
And he asked who am I? I Am Who Am!
The one that struck the snake
Who weighed Belshazzar in the balance
And who burned Sodom to the ground.
I Am the Beginning and the End
And no end shall come to those who love ME.
For in this feral forged world was one loving Hope.
Holding all men's souls in His hands
And brought sweet salvation to many distant lands
He was my son, He is US and He was called the Lamb.
Definitly the most "epic" of my poetry. It was inspired partly by Wordsworth and by T.S Elliot's Love song of J Alfred Prufrock. It is from God's perspective as He created the universe and the world in particular. Please share your thoughts.

Oh, Prufrock, I love that piece.
I don't normally go in for religious muchofanything, but I do very much enjoy this.
You articulate in a way that is pleasing to me and I felt sucked into this.
Excellent, most excellent.
