Golden Age

High-born sage brought forth from the heavens
Came with signs to mark his birth
Golden age – of wisdom and virtue
Time of justice for the earth

The day arrived – foretold by the ancients
Healing hatred with his pen
Claim denied – and facing rejection
Forced to leave his countrymen

Golden age – sacred way
Another day – slow decay

Third eye darkened – a clouded vision
Sun obscured by worldly dust
Misled masses – misguided leaders
Cherished wisdom turns to rust

Quest for knowledge – a thirst for power
Words perverted to control
Progress stifled – the souls left searching
Years of darkness take their toll

Golden age – sacred way
Another day – slow decay
