A Book That Never Dies Ii

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.
