Ancient Ways

To walk with knowledge born of whole, begat of ageless power of soul from times when stories made of man destroyed the ones where power ran. In name of church and fear of earth inquisitors killed all whose birth carried on the ways of old and threatened church's lust for gold. There now remains all but a few whose birthright lets old ways shine through. I know I've met them, felt their pain as in past lives I've died again. 'Tis true that evil scours the earth, but of man's greed, and not of birth. I pledge my knowledge to the light and hope one day earth wins the fight. Ivor G Davies
