Word

The blessing of words and melody to dance For the study of knowledge in the widest sense From the Greek ancient lies philosophy With a human’s true love, wisdom and self-mastery The trusted empowered with beliefs revealed through The respect and salutes from the knowledge to continue The natural dialect through the triumphs poured, in general, With the judgment for study, time stood without apparel The light of ideas intoxicated the mind Love languages were seen but now blind The recent blessings are only lost lessons But the flattery of time is nothing without history's essence The wisdom of the ancient, lost in times, cried The virtue of intellect’s pride died The punishment received by the unborn Was crystallized by the living in scorn As acts cast in stone without rebuke Where the shameful pages of the Living Book In which illumination seemingly to dwindle at the source That is when the darkness smiled without remorse The enlightened were not bred anymore They were refined in the ray of hope they saw Changing life into their own prospect Intellects now were left without respect Compassion was the order of the day That is how they lost how to pray Without advice, they had to sacrifice At that price blood would only suffice In order for deeds were to be redeemed The beauty of human goodness was creamed A sight of goodness careened & crashed The first war of good versus evil clashed Man asked for something great from the Almighty But he chose to punish them with un-repayable mercy Due to the debts of their spiritual bankruptcy A pure soul was payment for the morally guilty This is the knowledge radiated through many relations In hope to inspire provocative revelations That no matter what conclusions, assumption or judgments In this borrowed time we live in, our souls will be payment
