Chasing Grief

Ancient History

Ancient History

Jun 25, 2023

"In truth, I never wanted 
Anyone to be pushed aside or resented 
Judgement was never bound to reign 
Over human heart for power to remain
"My intention was never to sanction 
All the worlds to war over a nation 
Nor to progress but never pass a certain line 
To distinguish all that is yours and what is mine
"I merely created a universe 
Full of mysteries and all the wonders 
I merely created a simple place 
Where you and I can live in grace
"Though without balance, freedom cannot exist 
A world of pure black or white is merely naught 
For how then shall free will on Earth allot 
A chance for anyone to persist and resist?

"It was then when an angel of mine decided 
To run free with all of the rebels and misfits 
And with their own judgment they solely sided 
To misjudge 'free will' based only on their own wits
"Wanting freedom to do what one wants 
With no thought for another is sure to tempt 
The weak of heart and soul, it haunts 
All those who seek to be greater than others on first attempt
"How lavish indeed would life be 
With all the golds and riches at your hands? 
'Oh, how all the people in the world would envy 
All the fruits I bore in the once common lands'
"Thus, the legend of how a vicious snake 
Tempted Eve with a fruit for fortune's sake 
And how she tricked poor sweet Adam 
To open Pandora's Box without fathom

"As if a man has no ability to think 
For himself to make a decision in a blink 
There is no man and woman in this consequence 
Only humans who dared to tip the balance
"Thus began the toils and hardships of humans 
As with such knowledge, it must be put to good use 
Else what is there to do with such sagacity under all suns 
If not to work the Earth and be its benevolent muse?
"Such wisdom, they said, paralleled that of the God 
Hence to work like one all of you are bound 
But to shepherd is not to lord over everyone with a nod 
It is to care and make your herd safe and sound

Creator

I know of the story; that of the angels and the creations. I do not know of the intentions; that of the angels and the Creator. It is not a surprise to hear the history of the world as if told by a seer, but it is a comfort to know that the one telling it is in the know.
