Begend

I tell a legend I once heard
Of a race called mankind, no more heard
Placed in time that told and sang
To all who heard and they which were
This is the end of a tale begun
The time, that time began to sing his song
A song of snow and broadway shows
Telling the tale of a tree called Know
Which Adam through Eve through the serpent came to know
And in due course came to show
All they had come to know
To know the art of breaking life and hearts
Then the acts that breaks God's heart
To know the murder act and evil more
Cain killed Abel hence killed himself forevermore
A sword lived by, a sword killed by
Time named history and sadly money swings by
Sings and strings his violin strings
Hoping the lyrics of his song will pull the heartstrings
Of the noblest beast of nature's field
Of the cruelest beast of nature's field
Of a race embedded with treasures yet Seek the treasures that nature's left
A talent within exceeds the talent of gold without
A talent of gold could buy you bread without a doubt
Just like a dollar could brighten your cloud
The talent is hidden in a talent(dollar) shroud
A talented man with a chair, his mouth, his head and heart and guitar
Sat and sang and received talents of gold to buy his house
To buy his cars, feed his wife and hungry mouse
All called him great who were greats untapped
A song of rain and lonely nights
A song of pain and few respites
A tale of a race filled with guilty shadows
A race that raced against itself in a race that destroyed the race fellows
Because they thought God shouldn't have made rainbows
A race called mankind should have one colour
Why had he made them in different skin hues
The shades that ran from black to you
That's what knowing makes you think
That you know more than he who makes you think
A tale of love that transcends hues
The weaker sex through time subdued
Subdued the stronger sex as time ensued
Breath in, breath out, make your sentences
Give, receive, ask photosynthesis
Receive, don't give, break the synthesis
The synthesis of a man and a woman
Soaked with deceit, and a cheating pair
A tale of love broken by who got caught first
The only line that separates black from white
Painted grey and on this line and it alone, all have great insight
A song pouring with runaways and prodigal sons
A song on auto-repeat with each rising sun
He strikes a God to the atheist's heart
And shares that love is a breaking heart
And proves to all who doubt this fact
By painting a portrait of God's own heart
It tells a tale of light and darkness
How light knows and in time reveals all that's done in darkness
And how light, it shines in darkness
Yet darkness understands it not
Nor cares to, but tries to conceal the light within its fort
How truth be freeing and lies deceiving
Deceives the liar that he goes scot freeing
Deceives the pride that goes a-soaring
That earth belongs to mere mortals and lions roaring
Not for him, no, not for him, not at this pace
Till nature's law commands gravity to show pride its place
All hear time sing that love is life
Yet choose to hate and breed with strife
Love your neighbour, that's too much to ask
He never forgave him for breaking his flask
Hate broods, revenge in time wears a mask
Unveiled the day man kills man
And replays the Cain killed Abel legend
This is the beginning of a tale that ends
With a God that pores a love that never ends
Who lives not in time, but put them in time
That within the space of time
Given, will learn to love and love and love
Himself, his neighbour, his maker.
I write a legend I once heard
Of I. God II. Love. III. Man. IV. The end.
The first made the three
The second made the first come to earth
The third killed the first which came because of second of the third
The first is still alive and seconds the third
Though his heart breaks with each rising sun
Forever loves the third even after calling the fourth.
The End.
