The Becoming of the Perpetual Rotation of Earth.
This is my âcreation mythâ for AP English class.Â
What was the becoming of the Earth in its simplest format? In which case, itâs rather hard to explain but the practicality of such event is often misleading. You see, it was the conjoining of two hands that touched clay and somehow molded into a giant sphere. It seems rather silly but nothing is impossible. The hands of the Child were large, soft and smooth with lines that ran deep. It reached for clay here and clay there, green and blue, white and black, red, brown, purple, the entire rainbow. Smashing the arrays of colors together, the hands twisted and started with the red, making the core of the Earth a cardinal-fire red.Â
 The brown then came next, layering around the red and represented the dirt in which the feet of the soon-to-be habitants would tread. Next, the blue clay came and that was to be the salty seas and pure rivers that ran across the green clay in which was land where we would live. The hands rested forever, no longer adding onto the sphere of clay. It was placed gently on a table, by a lamp to dry, but never was it to be touched again.
So how did animals come to exist on this small, clay planet? More or rather, they are just microbes that grow on this clay Earth and evolve with each passing day and night. Day and night, how did that even come to be? There are so many questions but each has their own answers that will make sense in dues time. The animals, men and women, Children, we are nothing different. We are all growing bacteria, nano-scopic and invisible to the naked eye. The animals, though bacteria, had their own sense of leadership, role-action, and dividing up amongst their group and so that is exactly what happened. They divided and became their own species, no longer falling under the general category of âbacteria.â
The sky was nothing but the atmosphere of the Childâs room in which the Earth was placed so gently above the surface underneath a lamp that was left to dry. The atmosphere of the room would be sometimes cold due to the AC that would be turned on. The heat would be from the insulator and cloudy days would be from the blockage of the lamp. The rain is too hard to explain, not even I can tell where it comes from. The winds are from the breathing of the nearby Child or movements of bodies walking by the small Earth. It all seems too simple, is it not? I suppose that there could be more to it if the boundaries of knowledge for if it werenât limited.
But the simplest and easily explainable of all is day and night. For you see, it was with a simple click of the Childâs hand that the lamp would gradually dim out and the Earth would be casted with a dark shadow and it would be night. What had seemed to be a matter of seconds to the Child would be hours for the inhabitants of Earth and when night came, things slowed down. I couldnât find another way to describe the becoming of the perpetual rotation of Earth because honestly, there isnât much I can say. They limited us to only knowing such a few things because we were forbidden to know anymore than that the Earth was created by a Child.Â
However, legend does explain a few things at hand:
¡         Earthquakes results in the rotation of the Earth. We assume that the Earth rotates because the Child has moved the Earth.
¡         The mass death from diseases and natural disasters are all the Childâs doing. The tornados would be the swirling of Childâs finger, the thunder from loud noises created by the childâs hands, and even lightning from the flickering of lamp. The diseases from the Childâs hand that holds refuge to many other bacteria that tries to invade our Earth.
¡         There is no heaven, there is no hell but once you do die, you just rot in the ground of the clay.
¡         Finally, legend says that one day, there will be a new generation of bacteria that will do better than the last. When the new layer of the Earth is renewed, the new civilization will carry forth and produce more than the last. You know the fossils they find in the Earth? Previous generations of decay.
But the source of pain was almost impossible to articulate because pain is universal.
Pain wasnât taught by Child; it came from the inhabitants of Earth itself. We were never taught to hate but in order to know what itâs like to be loved, we need to know hate. Child taught us to love, to care, to protect, serve and live but weâve taken these learning skills and twisted them into something sick and demented. Pain came from understanding comfort but also knowing that sometimes when things donât go with the way we intendedwe lose hope. Pain is the source of motivation and negativity; two which are completely opposite but in a contrasting effect, it all just works out.
So, the Earth is created by Child whom lives in their own room which is part of another world. Is Earth just another planet atop another which is planted above another in a never-ending loop? If legend tells me so, then I will tell it back how Iâve been told.Â
