Once God spoke,
Twice I heard Him
The word He proclaims is seed
The same He formed on the 3rd day
It all sprout forth like the light He'd decreed on the forth
His voice thundering as though from the North
By reason of His exaltation , as One from above
The same that was slain is now Savior
The same that was mocked is now Judge
I therefore cannot bear a grudge
No matter how gruesome people could be
Gruesome? Gruesome I know not
Grace? That I know much!
That which takes away the filth
The one represented by the 5th
He has bestowed it upon the humble,
Lest they crumble
And that's just how the cookie crumbles
Its on the 6th day that He made man
Made man not man-made but made in the image of the Maker
Can I also call Him Baker?
You know how the bread became the body,
As to who could explain that, nobody!
But as to who could partake of, everybody!
This serves as one of His best creation yet
So the Potter could rest
While birds were tweeting in their nests
And the fish bathed in the body of water without any threat of nets
The sparrows fleeting above without worrying about soaring jets
The Creator cares for the sparrow in spite of how little
How much more humanity, it is profane to deem His love brittle
For the Author is not fickle
Thus I believe Him when He says they'll come in one direction and flee away in 7
Seven different directions, a complete mockery, so the Creator laughs!
I ponder upon these promises and I reckon, God ate (8)
Never wrong, never sinned, never late
Hence why I call Him Great
Because He chose to leave the ninety-9 for the one

- Comment from author about the poem: Ninety nine for the one is a lyrical and numeral word play by the author who seeks to explain how vast God's love is as depicted in Scripture according to the Gospel of St. Luke in Chapter 15. She seeks to portray God not only as Creator but also as One that cares for His creation and made them in His image, though not exactly like us in the sense that Yahweh is blameless hence the "never wrong never sinned never late" line. The infinite God is also depicted as cheerful and friendly, because not only does He terrify the wicked but has the ability to laugh with His wonderful creation as a father would, with his children (Psalm 2:4)
