In the beginning was the Word If a lion could speak we would not understand him Men make history but they do not make it just as they please Weapons cannot pierce him, fire cannot scorch him You cannot even step into the same river twice From darkness lead us to the light Like the flight of the eagle, Spiritlevel@PEN which leaves no mark He has made man from clots of blood God does not play dice There is still time, go look for the Friend What colour is the wind Behold Mitra, lord of wide pastures and guardian of the promise
