Genesis

Genesis I created the world, And there were no witnesses. ~ Some whisper that one girl Did see it, But the ones Who didn't want her to speak of it Hunted her down. ~ They cut out her voice, And used it to string violins.

RE: Genesis

I have enjoyed what you've written, but it seems incomplete and only a beginning. Was that your intent? (since Genesis means "beginning") --Joe

hello..

so I thought the saying was the first will be last and the last will be first. I am the alpha and the omega. it was just a poem with these scriptures in mind but my translations are always a little twisted and strange. thank you for your comments and for reading. -diatom shells
