I was enraged at the emptiness of my surroundings so I created the sun, and the moon was just its less vibrant friend. The stars twinkled to accompany the moon akin to the clouds for the sun. I kicked rocks and created the sands of the dry hot deserts of this place I named Africa, where people with brilliant white teeth and smooth dark skin strode gracefully. I gave them diamonds as a token of my gratitude. I palmed soil so roughly I gripped roots and pulled up trees, then came flowers, then came bees. I created the Nile to quench the thirst of my people, mountains are my seats to sit back and watch the sequel of what I began. I am the epitome of greatness – I have created something that shall be discussed for millions and millions of years, inhabited by many – the earth is my playground. The Romans bowed to me, and crowned me leader after they we’re rid of that dreadful Caesar. I lead the most ferocious and historical army of warriors, the Spartans – fear ridden and ferocious I am the definition of victory. I tapped my foot when I grew bored , and created music , drums hummed new tunes and soon the world had a new groove – it moved cool and expressed emotions , dozens of talents and true devotion , it also moved my people is sassy motion – the key to all that is creativity is me , myself and I . The seeing eye on the head of the pyramid that now lies on the most beloved currency keeps the world in motion, the hungry eyes chase, hoping to find the fast 4 wheeled beasts and threads I’ve given to them as a comfort and a sense of status – money became more important than water, created by no one but moi – who of course racks up the majority. The minorities were poked at with sticks and forced to pick the seeds out of cotton – they barricaded me on the moon and I could do nothing to stop it for 200 years, when I finally broke out craters formed on the moon from the might of my fists – I freed my dark skinned creations – making them liveliest of the bunch, giving them song and dance and upbeat critical knowledge, they formed smooth jazz and took diversity by the reigns – I am the ending of all suffering. Perfecting my vision of this oracle of life I soar like a bird through continents of greatness, I witness the fine food of the Spaniards, the divine creativity of the Africans, the unique linguistics of the Asians, and the orderly fashions of the Europeans. Then again , I am all that I mentioned – for I am the spirit within being – there’s more to the eye than what you are seeing , I am the energy from within , the tranquility and the sin, I gave life to all races – my offspring shall live . Je suis la vie.
