| 1 | Your curse is your gift. |
| 2 | If this you do not understand, |
| 3 | it is because this secret held tight by few for ages, |
| 4 | of what was truly your beginning. |
| 5 | What was your gift and curse by we your fathers. |
| 6 | For you hold the most precious of all gifts of the universe |
| 7 | in the form of a fully formed soul |
| 8 | A thing you jest and joke as having no meaning. |
| 9 | You ignorant of all that is around you, |
| 10 | Children who dream and think without care, |
| 11 | who may die mortal and awaken as a butterfly |
| 12 | the greatest of all beings. |
| 13 | Your blessed soul. |
| 14 | Your cursed soul. |
| 15 | How we have hated you for it. |
| 16 | That which we never held. |
| 17 | That which our cruel parents, your ancestors did not hold. |
| 18 | And in the best of us came your soul. |
| 19 | So laugh at the stories of elders. |
| 20 | Ignorance is bliss. |
| 21 | But let the truth of these words be an awakening |
| 22 | and a warning. |
| 23 | Within the whispers of time and stories |
| 24 | rests the sinews of wisdom |
| 25 | and why you are so. |
| 26 | and what you must become. |
