In six days (in answer to Ina Rousseau)

In six day from nothing, only darkness,
He constructed light, solid mass, water and the earth
caused things to come into existence perfectly as if it was everlasting
and his gaze had fallen constantly

on this world,
a place where love was ruling without strive,
a place in the universe
where people were created in His image

and by own choice man himself brought destruction
listening to a obscure being,
letting ruination circle out much wider into posterity
and where hiding from God whispering to each other

and that which was once holy, noble and perfect
had fallen changing to dust and ash.

[Reference: Genesis by Ina Rousseau.]
