Wizards of Fire and Ice

Once upon a time, many years ahead, In a land close by, on an earth nearly dead, Humans had evolved - using much more of their brains, They could command ice and fire, Where good and evil reign. But this power they developed Did much more evil than it did good, And wiped out most the humans, Leaving wizards where they stood. The battle continued to see who might rule; Mind-balls of fire and ice Were the only weapons they would use. Fire beats ice, But ice is more plentiful - To create balls of fire Much more brain power must you use. The young wizard Glaffin, in robes of brown and green, Fought for the good side, ruled by a Wizard Queen. Ice was thrown at him by the evil palace guards, Protecting King Faustus the most evilest of them all; But Glaffin summoned up fire faster than any wizard before, The goodness inside enabled him to produce it much more. Could good conquer evil? Could Glaffin win this fight? Could wizards live in peace? Could the Earth come back to life? Could fire and ice be used for good? Could our brains be free of hate? The end of the story, I do not know - I guess we’ll have to wait. But which side are you fighting for? Which side do you hope wins? Perhaps if you choose right now you can influence how it ends. Inside us is ice and inside us is fire, To create them in balls outside takes a powerful desire. We have not developed that ability yet but in our future we will, As the wizard part of our brains, Right now is sleeping still.
