Forgiveness - Rea Garvey

Forgiveness

A traveller of light he came to this earth

He had come to warn us of ourselves and whart he had observed

Alone, Alone in this universe

He had lost all that he had once loved

His homeland had been cursed

He said «I see in you what my people had been before

Our love of power and of might was the cause of our downfall

I’ve come to warn you to prepare you to save you from yourselves»

At first we embraced his knowledge and his thoughts on our world

He was from a place far from here

That bcame the victim of tyranny and war

His father like any father planned an escape for his only child

He sent him travelling through time

Underneath the cover of the darkest night

Tell others of our faith

Tell others what you have witnessed here

Have them learn that tyranny and war only leads to the death of us all

Be sure to tell them that there is always another way

A path we should have followed years ago but now it’s too late

We listened for some time and he showed us of the power that he could wield

How we could raise mountains into the sky and walk across the seas

We saw him as our weapon to protect us from our unknown enemies

Until we thought it best that he should canfront and demand their admission of

defeat

He fought for us on lands an on oceans that we had never ever seen before or

been before

He raise our flag obove the bones of those he had forced to crawl

Now it was he and he alone who threatened our new way of life

So we stole his last breath as he slept underneath the cover of the darkest

night

He left a written word like a message painted on our city walls

It was the path he had spoken of to us once before
