iconBook VIII - The Awakening

Chapter 1

1Nothing in the universe really ever dies.
2No-one can ever take your soul.
3Your soul is your mind, all mind is immortal.
4So it was, even in death we could not die.
5Our awakening came through a miracle.
6The miracle of our connection to our children.
7For within each of you our blood still flows through your veins,
8So too the counterfeit soul.
9For millenia, the HU.MEN nursed the ADAMU
10They showed them painting, to no avail.
11They showed them fire, without success.
12The HU.MEN fed them and helped through childbirth
13So that the ADAMU might still live.
14Yet for all the care and compassion, for all the teaching the HU.MEN showed to the ADAMU, they remained ignorant.
15Even as the HU.MEN developed language and song, the ADAMU showed no more wisdom than the most ignorant of APE.
16Till one day, upon our awakening at the miracle.
