 It was the story of all stories Once upon a time, Glory turned to greed There was a world rich with potential Drenched with promise and beauty Magical indeed It could satisfy your every need, no reason for greed Yet greed it was that destroyed her This relentless insatiable need They could never be pleased Not for a moment in time Walked by The Tree of Knowledge Locked and loaded Oblivious to peace Glory turned to greed [EARTH][FIRE] Air and Water Ever after The Beauty and the Beast The Legend of The Free And it wasn’t that they didn’t know They knew that they were free They found the scattered wisdom seeds but they were gimme gimme me me me Until one day there was nothing left for greed They surrendered the keys to the sea Set their sights on a far away galaxy Just for a moment in time It was just for a moment ©Carrie Armitage 2010 |
