All Art, like all Love, has its roots in Heartache.
Solitude
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
After being challanged by a poem on a certain Miss S.S blog, the devil naturally has to show off a little of his accomplishment, as well as the evil of man. Read then, about the betrayal of man.
Apple
In a Land beyond man's meausre
Is a Garden of pleasure and treasure
And Beneath a great tree lay a Man
The Fruit of one mighty Plan
He was the very mirrior of Perfection
The one of the Creator's affection
So the Maker gave him a companion
To ease him from his lone destitution
And once when the Master was out one day
The sly serpent came and lead man astray
He offered the man the greatest of temptations
And beyond the reach of Good's redemption
And the evil in man inherent
Planted in him the seed of rebellion
The nymph of his fell for the hook
And from the tree an apple she took
She raised it to her lover lips
And the strand of Good in man trips
The Evil in man in audacity
Succumbed to his voracity
In the evening when the Lord returned
He was aghast to find loyalties turned
The Most Ancient Adversary
Had corrupted his emissary
Through the tempting of an apple
Wong Wen Pu 4.10.2007
See the evil, disloyal, unhonest nature inherent in all manWhen a man can betray the All High, friendship means nothing to him
