They were watching...
|
Listening Ever patient awaiting the time.
|
For they knew it would come it has always been so.
|
Thus, forward they came...
|
An appeal to the heavens, spoken an age ago.
|
Pleading for answers, offering all that was possessed.
|
Shaman: scholars of the time close to the answer,
|
Incapable of reaching perfect enlightenment -
|
Yet, help they would receive, at a price so immense, ambitious and selfish...
|
A mistake they should not have made.
|
Our ancestors- our past has become our demise.
|
Our ancestral representatives celebrated the arrival
|
The visitors from the sky...
|
Joyous with the knowledge that their appeal had been answered.
|
These visitors - describing themselves as celestial gatherers, traders, explorers.
|
A half truth.
|
Masking the deception beneath.
|
Offering answers...
|
Knowledge and Truth...
|
But at a price, A fair exchange...
|
They requested life...
|
Aghast...
|
Apprehensive...
|
The forefathers refused.
|
Negotiating; the travellers explained that it would not be their lives;
|
Not those of the present era.
|
It Would be the future populous: An age away: An age beyond imagination...
|
Our age.
|
Nervously an agreement was made.
|
The celestial ones prepared to reveal their knowledge with the select few to do with as they saw fit.
|
The chosen, schooled by the visitors from the sky not foreseeing the knowledge that lag ahead
|
Not foreseeing the knowledge they would learn...
|
Unable to be purged from their mind...
|
Irreversible.
|
Departing, the travellers were seen no more.
|
The selected were left with knowledge unimaginable.
|
Disturbed, overwhelmed - no choice but to cease their own existence.
|
Their lives had become futile, with their infinite comprehension.
|
Lives forfeit by their own trembling hands.
|
Blood spilled instead of answers...
|
Long forgotten...
|
Unaware that we must uphold this pact...
|
A deal that exists despite the weakest of principals
|
They will fulfil a bizarre religious crusade.
|
We belong to the celestial ones: The harvesters of the foolish...
|
Traders and gatherers they are: cunning in their methods.
|
Exchanging what is required fur their spiritual needs our lives...
|
Any life unworthy...
|
Must be halted.
|
Sustaining their faith.
|
The unworthy are those who mishandle true insight.
|
Betraying their future our planet, placed in total stasis...
|
With no meaningful continuation.
|
Like countless before, and endless to come.
|
This is how it will continue...
|
To save their own being.
|
Giving a function, a purpose to their all-knowing lives.
|
This is their belief... to weed out the feeble in the cosmos
|
Those who do not learn should not progress...
|
Those without understanding should not continue...
