ONCE UPON A TIME

 When Eden was a physical place,

Heaven was on Earth, God was with us,

Humanity were close to Divinity,

we interacted and shared views and common interests.

Once upon a time, when neighbors were their brother's keepers, 

when love led and hate was inexistent.

when believers prayed & intercedes for one another,

the system was incorrupt, justice and equity was sovereign,

the society were peaceful and perfect, a beautiful family.

Once upon a time, nudity wasn't porn,

sexual abuse and violation was totally out of the question, 

people roam the streets naked, unashamed

women were adored and respected.

Once upon a time, when men pride in agriculture,

cultivation & harvesting was productive,

farming was a great occupation,

hunters were brave and fearless,

the earth gave it's best.

Once upon a time, when the girl-child was raised in the fear of the Almighty, to be humble & respectful,

to learn from the best, her mother who served as a role model to help shape her future.

to blaze her own trails and make her parents proud.

Once upon a time, when a son is prepared for battles he has never been to,

taught life lessons to be mentally strong and courageous.

to follow his father's blueprints, become the families breadwinner at a tender age,

become responsible and be a better brother, leader, father and husband.

Once upon a time, God was truly worshipped in truth & spirit,

saints and sinners were equal before the Almighty,

discrimination was unlikely, everyone respected their differences.

Once upon a time, men could interpret the appearance of the sky,

the weather was foreseeable, seasons take turns.

the sun & moon worked shifts, 

the stars ruled and twinkled all night long.

Once upon a time, when the serenity sky was blue,

fields were green, birds chirping melodious music,

animals fed on grass and beast were domestic.

humans were friends with creatures of the forest and dogs obeyed their human masters.

Once upon a time, when poetry was a thing for passion,

artists and Picasso's were incredibly creative,

words were beautifully woven, paintings were charming and pleasing to behold.

inspiration came more easier than breath,

and everything was perfect.
