Creation Myth

 

If you were God

You would create a back story

On how you came to be

 

Something about a mother

And a father coming together

 

You would gradually create

The world around you

And the history of what went before

In order to keep you sane

 

You would form existence

to fit your needs

And each thing learned new

Would be to satisfy the rules

Of your universe

 

What you did not know

Would not exist

Until you knew it

 

People would be generated

To serve your purpose

And recalled to limit

Over use of unique material

 

You would create self suffering

And self pleasure

To penalise and reward

The continuum

 

Interaction would be allowed

Within self-awareness only

Or sculptured from the convenience

Of concepts such as

Television, books and the internet

 

If you are not present

It does not happen

It is only reported

As happening

 

When your system shuts down

There is nothing

Blackness resumes

Until another spark

Of self awareness

owns the darkness

 

even you

dear reader

do not exist

when I am not there

 

Gods are never lonely

In their own heads
