RE: Misfortunes

Of initiates and teachers
Like for like, to him was given
As he chose, was it provided
As he planted in his garden.

As he reaped, in days to follow
Thoughts of love and peace, to others
Brought about co-operation
On all levels of existence.

In Man’s vast Edenic Garden
Deep within the sheltered bosom
Of this lovely little planet
Also, on the outer surface.

Over many thousands of decades
Men progressed and raised the standards
On the patterns of his teachers,
His instructors and advisors.

From the earth within and other
Lands across the Cosmic Oceans,
Plants and fruits of all descriptions
Grew in bounteous profusion.

In the forests and the farm lands
Cities grew in dream like beauty,
Built of polished stone and metals
Interspersed with streams and gardens.

Springs and fountains in the park lands
Through which animals and birds alike,
Flew or romped with little children
For none feared and none were threatened.

In the harmony prevailing
In these lands of peace and plenty,
With technology increasing
Under prolonged supervision.

By the volunteer advisors
Who had come from other places
Ships were built to fly the skyways
And to skim across the oceans,

As millions rolled onward
There were some who chose the pathway
Of unvirtuous behavior,
And by stealth and by aggression
Chose to raid, destroy and plunder
To the detriment of others.
