The Long-Ago Father

The long-ago father of the god of creation Warned our god, many millenia ago, If You go on and create this world You are considering, There will be everything under heaven; Not only love and happiness and wonder, But also unimaginable and horrible things too; You can't create without both positive and negative included. But our god was stubborn as any man, and replied He did indeed plan to create a world. And then the long-ago father of the god warned him again, Some of the creatures of this world would be godlike, just like Him, because whomever creates a world Leaves a little bit of His own indelible nature Inside the mix. These creatures would be smart, said the long-ago father; If they didn’t destroy themselves through accident or tribal warring, they would eventually find out about Us; or possibly even visit Us here, in this special dimension, That We have reserved just for Ourselves. Heeding the words of the long-ago father, Our god was very determined, but He was also terrified By the murder, rage and violence that were generated Almost as a by-product of all the wonderul, positive things In His handmade world. So much so in fact, That He could not stand to look for long upon such abhorrence; And so He has been in hiding, these many years since- Terrified that one day, we might find Him.
