The Stage by Nobody: 12:38pm On Mar 08, 2017 |
The stage was set Ignorance asked a question "Has God said?" Foolishness gave the answer Revealed the weakness Then the first lie "You shall not surely die" Now, that is all we do; die And now the stage is set The graves are alive Earth refusing its dead For blessed are the meek The Earth is theirs' Earth would no longer pray to the Heavens For they have become its doors Life itself would no more die Then shall ten thousand voices Sing ten thousand million songs in one second Shall we no longer kill for the gods For they are our creators And now, sadness would see what happy is, Happy would see what sadness was For not even the thinnest line Would separate the present from eternity ~TheAgba #Fempire Cc Joseph1832, gracile |

Analogy The poem is all about the creation of man, his fall, (redemption), resurrection and life after. The use of "gods" is to create tolerance for many religions as possible, but though the first stanza is more centered on Judaism/Christianity. |
