Genesis


I,

I welcome myself

Sciptures shall be established

In pursuit of a life so lavish

Who am I?

I,

I am the dreamer himself

The one who says tomorrow

Yet promised himself the present

Demanding a share of life

Yet ignorance invested

Who am I?

I,

I am a boy

I am a Man

I am a sinner

Until the knees kiss the earth

Revert back to birth
