happy land

We denied

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 1 min read

We want to progress but the disagreement appeared

Our backwardness is a scourge upon us

We remained at the bottom but did not ascend

The humiliation of this world was added to us

We wanted to fly without wings

So he stood... at the bottom we lined up

When the visions of the creatures were obscured

From our failure came the harvest

Because we are all weak... We

We have the description of weakness on earth

We thought we were a happy land

And we did not acknowledge misery

If we acknowledged it we would not be miserable

But what we fear has come

The ancients laugh at us mockingly

And we do not have what they achieved to turn around

So we said: They are less fortunate

But we are less... Who are the weak?

If we lived their nights we would know

That we did not deny what we disliked

So we boasted about what the first ones achieved

But there is a difference between us in that

Why did we not submit to the saints

Until the defect was exposed

Why did the coup reach us

And did they not retreat?

We are only the product of the ancients.

Therefore, do not hesitate to praise them.

Our corruption was that we denied their virtues, so it became our right to commit
