Long before mankind arrived down here
bright stars filled Earth's night sky in gold
So pure, each star.
It seemed, Earth slept.
Selene shone, broad lakes sparkled.
Trees feet drank from sweet streams.
Eagles arose above the hills so clear.
Each fluttering on warm breezes.
Abloom, plants and animals filled meadows.
But, then came manmade schemes.
In the blink of an eye, oh dear.
The stars' immense brilliance, appeared less bold
while at dark of night the owl wept.
Time ticked away.
Smoke, fumes, bombs, dis-ease, fear
so much disorder; morefold are killed
Actaeon's cries arose.
Eden collapsed,
beneath man's wrecking bar.
muting the creatures' wheezes.
As time elapsed,
the Great I AM said, "Stop, there is a better way!"
