A long time ago
On a star far away
A great council assembled
In solemn array.
The question weighed heavy
On everyone’s mind—
T’was the fate of the Earth,
What to do with mankind.
The planet was burdened
With discord and strife
Human beings had forgotten
The purpose of life.
They had even begun
To walk down on all fours
In their eyes and their souls
God’s great light shone no more.
“Earth must be dissolved,”
The cosmic council decreed
“Her energy returned
To the great primal sea.”
I, Sanat Kumara
Arose from my chair
And invoked Opportunity
From those who were there:
“Let us give them
a chance
And perhaps over time
These ones will remember
They once were divine.
