Poem
(What Mankind Forgot) We forgot our place in life We forgot how to be alive We forgot our connection to life and the cosmos We filled our homes, schools and hospitals with the killer asbestos We forgot our ancient wisdom We forgot the wisdom from the opening of our heart the knowledge and stories of How we did come About and how we did start We forgot the knowledge of natures forces We forgot the power from the deepest of sources We stole from our planet and are using up all of its resources We forgot our path and our dreams We polluted our once purest streams We took from earth many things we did not need We built cars, planes and trains that pumped out poison that us and our future Generations are Expected to breathe We have to take we cannot leave We ditched our horses and bred them wild But wild they are not Their help and ability we forgot We forgot our true purpose We are caught in the mass trance of fabricated consensual reality We lost sight of our authenticity That inner spark that drives us towards our happiness and self-realization We lost our True destiny We forgot that we are here to be realized as spiritual beings embodied in a physical form and Embedded in a congenial universe We forgot that everything revolves around and is love We forgot how to love and be loved We live on bended knees to a force that isn't seen with thy eye That should see the truth We cannot see without the proof We forgot what we once stood for We shunned it out and locked the door We are no more What we once was Mankind has lost all scense of what it means to be free Be bend down and hand away our pride and dignity To the power that over rules our reason to exist We are stranded and scared in a forever descending mist.
