To make way where none was -
for envious they became
and in the toolshed they looked
never realizing the pencil
which made for layouts and designs
was sharper for content.
For like the reeds which made for clay
transformation of marshes,
into an empire and civilization:
to chaos it returned
for they made for ressources
deceit and conflicts.
Then to make for armies, not to defend
but their neighbours garden
pry and take for a forbidden fruit
what they grew not.
The orchards were abandoned,
into a desert it returned.
Such is the fate for a pen or sword,
to make for prey soon
conquest makes for a throne
to make laws and rule
but the divine regalia in the temple
could not be purified. |
