It Was Not Me! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

It was not me that stretched the universe and varied the galaxies
In it the space is fluidal
Gathering debris that coagulate to form planets
It surely was not me that made the planets into different systems
You should know that I have no such powers
To separate these planets in sizes and differing features
Little are similarities; large are the differences
It was not me that made life from another fluid
This, with a greater density and slower mobility
How can I make what I have been made from?
Certainly, it was not me
Needless telling you that it was not me that molded man into what he is
May be a supernatural hand did that
I was never part of anything
All decisions were His
He created this place that you and I were meant to stay
He ordered the genders in opposing duplicates
Yet they are still in complimentary unity
Yes! ! ! It was not me
I wish to drop the rhetoric
But I just cannot stop saying that it was not me
