Poem
Sons and daughters of the first born From original source we were all shorn Progeny of the brightest stars All were unwitting avatars Flung from the quiver Each a message to deliver Look out at the world Into which we were hurled We struggle to stand In this dark hinterland No longer can we hide Behind eyes now open wide The oldest of souls Living truths will extol Dropping wisdom of the ages Like pearls from the sages They endeavor to bring unto (wo)man The true vision of the master’s plan Your so-called truths need some revision There never was a spiritual division On shoulders to bare an original sin No wrong was done by ancestral kin This world given to us to explore and tame We were not sent here to swim in shame This an untruth you were sold To shackle the beings created so bold Fret not about the wrongs and rights We all experience the dark and the light Whether good or bad not for you to perceive The fruit has not fallen so far from the tree On different paths we are set to learn Another’s lesson is not your concern If your eye offends you then pluck it out That decision for others not what you’re about Judge not as we have long been told Or henceforth you will be judged ten-fold With false honor we cry eye for an eye But this my brethren is yet another lie The truth was revealed; even babes know You only will reap that which you will sow Whether walking in love or in earthly malice The same you will drink from the golden chalice Ego untamed that villain of old In truth this is your pot of gold Universal conscience the contingency plan Your individual beauty your ego-(wo)man Whether wide is the path or narrow the way Who among us can absolutely say Undeniable truth for one and for all It’s pride alone that will cause you to fall Refusal to seek your truth that’s within Finds feet that are pathless again and again These pearls stolen by antiquity thieves Time to get up now; off your knees It’s not for you to bow and cower Earthly presence of the highest power Sons and daughters of the first born Original source is that which we mourn Progeny of the brightest stars We all are now fallen avatars
