A BOOK THAT NEVER DIES II (the creation story)

A long time ago, even before time was created,

There was a God named Chaos

During his reign, the universe was formless

Through mitosis, he divided into two;

Nyame and Bonsam were born out of Chaos

Bonsam was extremely beautiful

Nyame was extremely strong

It was at the point that good and evil were --

But uncle, you promised to tell me --

My nephew interjected me there and then

"About the Myth of the Clouds?"

I replied him calmly, "Let me finish first"

"I hope this isn't one of your tricks"

A book that never dies is full of tricks

I need that in order to get my point across

"Ok proceed", he finally said

Continued I did, telling tales in "A book that never dies"

This one which is called "The Myth of God"

Happened to be my favourite of all the myth and tale.

As Nyame and Bonsam were born

And sought to re-create the universe

In a fashion, that would make it beautiful.

Nyame wanted to create something of his kind

But Bonsam being greedy wanted to be special.

Then one day, Nyame asked his brother finally,

"Bonsam, let's create something in our own kind?"

He rejected quickly stating categorically that

Humans might grow and overthrow him.

And therefore wouldn't be a part of that venture

So Nyame had no option than to visit Asaase Yaa

Who received Nyame very warmly and kindly

And agreed to let Nyame build His planet inside her.

First he began by creating a husband for Yaa, Ewiam

Who happened to be the sky that we see everyday

He separated the water from Asaase Yaa's belly

And gathered it in one part, creating the seas.

The dry area became the land, barren and plain.

Nyame made plants to grow out of the dry land

And fishes to swim in the sea, he then removed

Some of the light inside him and created the sun.

Seeing that Ewiam will be lonely sometime,

He created birds and made them fly in the skies.

Finally, he consulted the Chaos inside him

And then underwent meiosis and created man.

Bonsam was strolling around the universe

And from a distance, he saw Nyame's creation

And instantly became jealous.

He said to himself "I am better than Nyame"

And therefore I must rule over his creation.

So when Nyame was resting after his creation.

He turned into a three headed snake

And infested the world with evil and deceit

And this is the point where you go to bed, nephew!

But then you haven't finished the story?

I know but it's getting late, you need to rest

Our conversation was scheduled yet for another day.
