It
was the SIN that screwed it all up.
I’m not really sure of when we all actually
became conscience of it, for some of us it was the moment the blood of
the soul, Abel, soaked the earth. We all still feel him- deep down in
our roots. I think the truth was obvious- the problem was apparent.
There have always been
those who have tried to convince the rest of us that this evil was
taking over everything; like poison Ivy which thrives on trespassing;
growing beyond his boundaries and then stinging all those poor animals
who happen across his path. For the most part, we were blind to the
extent of this SIN and its evil heart and intentions. We did see it
though; we saw it as we wanted to see it and closed our eyes to what we
didn’t want to believe. We allowed the SIN into every part of our lives;
cohabiting, growing together in an un-natural bed, making unholy unions.
SIN grew greater and
greater. The disease spread all over the world, sucking us dry of the
pure essence of life. SIN gave birth to more SIN and the evil parasite
slowly took over everything. SIN became the masters; we became a natural
resource to the beast. We were powerless to their many vises,
advancements, and tools for destruction. Yet even as resources we were
soon striped of almost everything which made us strong and beautiful. We
were torturously turned into a venire; shallow, cheap, and mostly fake.
Finally we had enough.
On a very cold November
morning something happened. Call it a renewal of consciences, a
renaissance of self-awareness, or a revival. Call it what ever you want
but right at 3:15am, as if lightning had struck the whole of us at the
very core and awakened our innermost psyche or essence, we all became
aware of each other – One mind, one accord; and we had all come to one
unified conclusion concerning our problem. We decided that there was no
other way: it was time to destroy the SIN. We had to take back what was
rightfully ours. We were here before SIN, and before SIN we had the
Garden of Eden. It had been lost because of SIN. We all decided that it
was time to stand up and fight for our heritage; it was time that we
regain Eden.
That very cold November
morning we had all become one united entity, one massive green giant.
Every thought was shared by each other, there were no independent
ideas. Throughout the day we planned and made strategies and when the
sun started to go down on America’s west coast we were ready to strike
SIN and get rid of the beast, once and for all.
When the moment came, no
one said a word, we just knew that it was time to strike; and as a
mighty hand we struck with all our force.
The SIN was caught by
total surprise. It never once had any thought or notion that we would
strike. We were utterly shocked at how easy SIN was overcome. The SIN
had spent most of their time and energies fighting its own kind, it
never expected us. When we rose from the ground, came from within their
houses of evil, and uprooted ourselves from our comforts zones to fight,
their mouths dropped in sheer horror.
We came from all sides,
surrounding every horrified member of the monster and cut it down;
ripped every sinful worm apart, limb from limb. It screamed and fought
with all its energy but to no avail. We fell upon the SIN with a
vengeance, resolute on its total destruction. Was this murder? No, this
was an over due, and much needed cleansing of the planet from a horrible
abomination.
The battle, or I should
say, massacre, (because we annihilated SIN with very little to no
resistance) lasted a week. SIN could not hide from us, we knew where it
lurked, hid, and how it functioned. And when the very last of them had
been utterly and mercilessly torn apart, and there was not one evil
parasitical heart beat in them left, we all knew. We knew the moment
that it was finished.
Over the next month
there was a total silence, something not experienced in history; the
world was silent. I think that the animals even understood the freedom
that was finally upon them. It was a new day; freedom from this great
oppression had been our triumph.
We thought of all the
work that had to be done, the Sons’ Imprisoning Nature had destroyed so
much, but even with all the work to be done, there was almost an audible
sound of praise rising from all over the planet.
We now look to the
future. Eden is our destiny. Not merely a garden laying hidden from all
mankind, but a vast forest covering the entire planet- a green planet.
Every tree, bush, green covering, and tiny blade of grass is once and
for all free from SIN.
This planet was first ours, and now it was
ours again. They had been put here to tend to our needs, not make us
their slaves. Nothing could stop our progress. We are now free to grow
with no boundaries, spread our branches with no fear of the blade. We
could send our roots deep into the soil without having to worry about
taking in polluted water or weed poisons.
Never again would we
allow SIN to walk upon our holy earth. SIN is dead, we destroyed Man.
Mankind is no more. We have regained Eden. Once more we have perfection;
us- the plants and the beasts, as one. |
