INTRODUCTION

Alrighty so today one of my very good friends challenged me to a poetic battle royale, and of course being the arrogant asshole that i am, i accepted his challenge and refused to give rejecting it a second thought.. Thinking about it now maybe rejecting it is not to bad an idea but hey screw it i'm in this already
So the challenge is to write on a poem titled "i was there". It is a poem that sees the narration of a being who watched the creation of the present existence take place. People of steemit please enjoy, "I was there".

The poem

I was there in the looming darkness..
In the seemingly frisky doom..
In the void of emptiness..
The never ending loom..
I was there..

I was present in the nothingness of space..
In the quietness of vaccum
When all was but bleakness all was displaced
When this reality was not the case..
I was there..

I was there when the King got bored..
When he conceived the idea of having daughters, having sons..
Creating the ones with whom he would share a bond..
Unlike any other he would make these ones..
I was there..

I was there when the King called light..
The form of his likeness, it showed so bright..
In the midst of the darkness i beheld light..
And thus was the first day, the day and night..
I was there..

I was there when The King made room
When he stretched forth his broom to divide these two..
On one side the blue sky on the other the blue sea..
Then he called me and said "LO!! do you see"
I was there

I was there when with his voice he cried "erat herba"
When with his breath he blew deeper..
When all of a sudden the land came hither..
And the blue see did spread thither..
I was there..

I was there when with the clap of his hands space burst with matter
And closely beside it stood the hidden neighbour antimatter
From the force matter shattered and splattered..
and came together to form the stars all in this giant cluster..
I was there..

I was there when he webbed out something called he called "bios"
The gift of life on world he bestowed..
He said "Move i say" "kinoúntai léo"
And behold life began to flow..
I was there..

I was there when he said "Let us make man" "Venite, faciamus hominem"
When he said "Let these ones have dominion"
When he made man's destiny and he needed none's opinion
And he gave him free will the power to make any decision
I was there..

I was there when I saw him rest..
For the first time ever to catch his breath
To cross check the work to run some tests
To have it work and function at its best..
I was there..

And Here i am,
Here i stand,
Looking at him who was made and planned
I stand on the soil my legs I plant
Hoping and waiting that he would come back to the plan

About the poem

As earlier stated i choose to take on the view of a being who has existed before the beginning of existence, who witnesses the creation of this reality. the poem seeks to appreciate the order of things, the nature of reality and the existence of a being who is absolutely sovereign and all powerful. the poem highlights the events which take place in genesis chapter 1 and it shows the beauty and orderliness of God.
