Poem Title:
Poem
...‘I belonged to a species like your own, born of a mother of flesh and blood, our people were guided by our own god, who had lifted us up out of the mud. ‘We were an impossible old species, with each generation we would improve, but our god knew he had a limited time, so helped make our growth gentle and smooth. ‘After billions of years of such guidance, we had become much like gods ourselves, with powers you cannot imagine yet, but who would rise up? None could tell. ‘I set myself to serious study, just like everyone else of my kind, then one day I felt a great clarity, as if a veil was lifted from my mind. ‘I had transcended into godhood, in a great surge of pure energy, my essence transformed to ethereal, and I drew all bits of matter to me. ‘See, when a being becomes a deity, he consumes everything that came before, all life, all matter, even my old god, until the universe of old was no more. ‘A universe is a god’s very flesh, I drew it all in, and then with a bang, expanded outwards as this new universe, all the cosmos with my essence sang. ‘This happened fourteen billions years ago, all of creation relies on my will, and I marveled at this magnificence, flexing my powers did keep my time filled. ‘I even thought that I was immortal, that forever I would have time to play, but like the old god, I've recently found that even a deity can age. ‘All powerful does not mean all knowing, and a successor I did not create, I ignored the lessons of the old god until now, when it is almost too late… ‘I do not have time to take you by the hand, use the method that was applied to us, it would take too long, and I have to hurry, a billion years just isn’t long enough. ‘I made evolution just for this task, to speed things up and make godhood arise, intense competition will weed out the weak, strength and competence will be realized. ‘It may seem brutal to those who will perish, but no other solution can now work, it may seem evil…maybe it is, but rest assured, it is I that’s the jerk. ‘I was the one who arrogantly assumed that I didn’t have to learn from the past, it was my mistake that necessitates this, I will regret this screw-up to the last... CONCLUDES IN PART IV.
