A thousand years was just yesterday in fifty will you have learned what matters most You appear unable to obey the simplest laws you have been gently led by and been whispered their truths you were gifted with the ability to reason you were gifted with mercy you were gifted with compassion you were granted forgiveness of sins , errors , failings Around you is a cosmos in a procession of infinite order The earth is drenched in the the richest abundance of every thing that is desirable every rooms canvas brilliantly adorned constructed to fill you with joy and appreciation every excellence woven into their creations you were designed to master life and created to comprehend it's secrets But you take and you steal destroy , every answer to what you desire is loaded with violence you stretch out your arms with intent , not to build each other but to insult their life your own brother , mother , sister , father You have boundaries , and they ARE fixed you can defy your design but it will inflict much pain you obey gravity to avoid it's damage but neglect virtue innumerable talents were showered on you yet every clay tablet , papyrus , scroll , document , book , history , writing fully demonstrates the easy road to corruption whose maw is full and overflowing and the weapons of warfare now cover the very surface of what was a paradise while you slice , dice , chop your way through your family of humanity and if that isn't enough you shoot , bomb , burn , poison children , mothers , family and leave a wake of destruction so much easier to burn that pinch of incense to POWER than to face keeping your integrity to life , and not to submit your support to the roads of death .
