Art - The Eye of God ~CordieB.
---

Once upon a midnight blue,
When you were me and I were you,
And everything was tried and true,
A dark spirit of our selves shown through.

Though my eyes were brown and yours were blue,
We at first appreciated the differences in hue,
Why they were different, we had no clue,
But embraced the beauty, through and through.

Then on that midnight starry night,
The gods awakened, causing stress and fright,
Fear was something we had never known,
Whether close together or all alone.

We had all we needed or ever would,
We could achieve anything that ever could,
But on that dark night, once upon,
The gods became bored of creation . . .
And so the games of life begun . . .

“How can we make them not foresee
That they are one and all as we?
How can we make them entertain
If they know that all are one and one’s the same?"

And so the god named Unimpressed
Proposed a simple, yet powerful test
No pain was known to men back then
It was invented to see how best
Two lives would deal, and who would win
Pain produced me;
thus I produced what you call sin.

Sadly the test failed miserably
Soon you became you and I became me
And so the gods changed destiny…
of how life was suppose to be.

This spirit often called out of name
Whose first intent was to bear blame
To make you look at me as I
And question differences to why
We were not exactly both the same

This spirit questioned right from wrong
And high from low and short from long
Discarded the weak, embraced the strong;
And though we both stood side by side
And knew no thing of foolish pride
This spirit borne proudness so great
That pride turned quickly into hate

As pain was never in the original plan;
For any living creature, including man.
Back then we were much like the beautiful tree
Who gives all of herself and love just to be . . .
And co-create in God’s creativity….
No pain is felt by the morning glory
Who each morning tells a most lovely story
The grass is not pained by the trample of man
She embraces the walks on her bountiful land

I’m told the Creation God attempted to correct this aweful woe
By instilling in animals, knowledge of everything they’d ever need or know…
But most humans remained retarded in their abilities
To see the the forest through the trees…
For despite having knowledge to eliminate pain’s dark shadow
Pain’s offspring remained,

Who am I . . .?

I am the Ego
