The seahorse rears to oblivion...When God created the worlds they were before then, without formA void except in his own great eye which had already seen everything that was, is and willThe first thing he created I believe though the bible does not tell us soIs children's cryingAs this is still mirrored when children are bornThough no doubt all the animals weep for birth in their own particular wayBut they must have someone human to notice it so that it be noted The second things he created were two things he created simultaneously to frighten childrenAn old rocking horse that moves of its own accord and a discoloured doll which seems to move occasionallyThe third thing he did was to throw Lucifer out of heaven so he would be waiting on earth to destroy everything people tried to do and to destroy what little happiness they scurry togetherand he became Satan and waits here still for all of usThat is three things tooLucifer to Satandestroying to doand to enjoy The forth thing he did was to laughOnce, Twice, Thrice and Forth The fifth thing was to create one Star, one animal, one fish, one bird, one humanThese five bred together to create the entire moving, flying, spinning world and what is in itThe stars he sent to fly and lie in spaceThe animal he made to be our base nature and our state of nature and our innocence, and our memento mori on earththe fish went to swim and drink the waters of the sea worldthe bird flies, dies, and falls the human lies, dies, destroys, creates, and seeks the stars that He sent up in spaceThe stars try and try and try to fly away from earthBut God has caught them in a large sling thatholds them from falling too near or flying too farThe Devil creates black holes Sucks them out of the visible universeto create decorations:bubbles and globes full of light and darkness in the ceiling sky of hellUpside-down if you can see it standing upThen God decides that it is time to blow the final trumpet and call all chickens home to roost in every way and meaningGod then blows final trumpet and withdraws the sling from the skyThe sling is made of wire and wood and warth and weth together The roost beginsThe stars are withdrawn from their heavenly holderAn attempt to rush away from the stinking worldSatan simultaneously tries to snatch all of them at once to all his infernal kingdomItself now doomed to his unknowledgeThe stars are taken half by Satandragged though an ever increasing black dent in the night skyThe other half run towards the playides and alderbranOh stars of the eveningHow swift you rush and roar awayEven Satan in his great power and great fury and great greed cannot stop themSo eager are they to dance and dim awaysBut God knows all, sees allAnd is prepared for allHe creates a huge net made of spitand throws is further than the furthest starThe stars are caught on spit like the birds to a lying-covered branchDamned. God lectures them with a whipThe spit shivers as the whip quivers over the starsthe voice slathers and lathers them with more of the same spit that is caught themForever and ever and ever.The stars only pause and the stars only cross as to obey he who made themThe stars are given great scars with the whip for attempting to fleeThe scars are blood causes; liquid proof of God's anger which was from themThe bubble stars are brought back by a string of spit which cuts through the web between the worldsThey too are slashed and thrashed The stars are orderedby God to return to the sling or betorch his mercyraining down like rain on the earth And all of those that are unfortunate enough to have been born in and of itThe stars do not wish to goThey march sadly to their home
