Without Pain There Is No Learning.

My bretheren take this heed
take this warning
as the time comes near this land of sweet love and glory....
comes a darkness arising with the night until the beginning of the morning. 
when the sun rises to greet the land of man with warm palms, and a sweet 
sweet smile. 

Its florescent lights of greeting wonder and hope shall reveal the souless 
corpses of those who dwelled in its gardens, literally decaying with bile. 
Men seek wonder, hope, glory, pride, and pleasure mainly through the body
When even the smartest of man dont understand that you must  also fullfile 
mans desires throught the mind, so both Body and Soul may entwine giving birth 
to the wise and the worthwile.

Those who study and earn not only what they are given, but what also lay hidden 
in the texts and words of religion. 

Those who study not only religion but also the wonders of truth, kindness, love, 
nature and  eventually leading to a vision.....
Seem to gain a large sense for learning causing the wanting of greater 
knowledge, and earning....
To reach beyond what man may yield or be unable to control, and actualy use it 
beliving that only the posotive may behold...
For as a child man expiremints, touches, smells, and tastes to understand and 
gratify our poisoned sense of curiosity so the truth may be told....
As then when man reaches out searching for the 

"kingdom
the power 
and the glory"

Is when man is revealed there limits, and then our faliure, to late to avoid wipes 
life off the face of the earth, ending our trip....
As it began with an apple..... and ends with a burning.....
that indefinetly god knows for man
Without Pain There is no Learning.
