" Before and After "



Before creation,
There was just,
Pure energy, embodied!

A Creator, creates!

Outside of any strings,
Symmetry, thus perfect!
The Creator life brings...

In which we came!

This realm surreal.
Eden of garden's many...
There is no Decay!

Perfection, if not for a moment!

It is just as stated...
Man exiled and bang!
Eden became a dream!

The universe is born!

Man is transformed...
All suffer, greatly!
Mankind will die!

Just where is Eden?

The beginning now hidden.
The reality of life,
Our mortality of being!

Blood rots of Sin!

For a Sin,
Millennia's ago' follies!
A cross we now carry...

How heavy is it?

Hoping for answers,
That never will come...
What have we done?

From whence we came... Longing..
