When Black is White (The Greatest Lie!)

In the Beginning, there was only The Divine Song;

The vibration of which gave birth to the ether.

The ether coalesced

And begat the Great Evil.

It grew, and grew, and grew Greater still;

The Evil wanted to be God so it denied us free-will.

The Divine, being sublime, decided not to Fight,

For the Love that is ALL prevented the exercise of might.

The Evil appeared to overtake the Light.

Until The Divine whispered the words:

You shall NOT surely die!

T'was the antidote for the Original Lie.

His plan foiled, The Great Evil grew Angry

And he cursed all of Humanity for insulting his vanity.

The Divine could allow this, as it is his nature.

He still loved the Evil, it was his creation.

There was but one rule:

You may not deny them their Free-Will!

You may control the prophets.

You may tell them you are I.

You may command them to do whatever you wish.

You may even send MY son there to DIE!

You may command them to write down your words,

To worship you most high.

You may set up establishments all over the globe.

It will only be more of your lies.

No matter how you torture them on Earth,

They will NOT surely die!
