PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A long time ago the elders of many tribes, some of them unknown, told a prophecy about the end of the world. Some people may think that it isn’t true, that it was all about the illusions of the olds men. However, each one of us will decide, which illusion should we believe.

A long time ago when the world was created, they were the white lion and the white owl, the gods of braveness and wisdom, but there were also the black sparrow and dark horse, the gods of fear, suffering and death. They all exist in order to maintain the balance in the world, like the ying and the yang, like black and white, like the light and the darkness. In the world they can’t exist one without the other, since they all ruled the humankind, teaching them virtues and defects, teaching them to live.

At the beginning the world was balanced, the white gods teach the men’s about happiness, joy, and the right of doing whatever makes them happy, without hurting another man. Black gods teach them about the sadness and fear of living. When a man reaches a great level of virtue; like loyalty, strength or wisdom, the white gods transform them into animals, in order to symbolize the greatness of having a high level of a certain virtue. Some men’s were transformed into dogs because of their loyalty, some of them were transformed into bulls because of their strength, and some of them were transformed into birds like the white owls because of their wisdom.

However, since the only ones that could transform the humans into animals like the gods, and give them the prestige of the virtues. The dark gods, the sparrow and the horse, decide to tempt the humans and make them commit despicable acts; like depriving them from their originality, making them cheaters and also cunning. The dark gods claimed their rights to transform the humans into animals, and they transform the men’s without their own thinking into lambs, the cheaters into snakes, and the cunning men that search for the bad were transformed into foxes.

So many men fall into the temptation of the dark gods, since their path was easier than the path drawn by the white gods. So there were many men transformed into foxes, snakes, lambs, sparrows and vultures. And when the dark gods thought that they had enough servants, they decided to attack the gods and take control over the entire world. Nevertheless, since the animals that were created by white gods represent the virtues, only a few of them fought against the dark army.

The fight was devastating, the animals fought for years and years, but a day most of the clans decided that they don’t wanted to fight no more, and they leaved the white owl and the white lion against the darkness. However, because of his wisdom and braveness, the white owl and the white lion didn't give up and continue the fight, since they wanted to recover the balance between the right and the wrong, the light and the darkness, in order to preserve the human kind.

However, as the battle extend, many other men’s fall into the temptations of the dark gods, making their army bigger and bigger, and the white lion and the white owl didn’t last no more. But because of his wisdom the owl escape of the last battle, and keep hidden trying to convince the other men’s not to be tempted by the dark gods. Nevertheless, the white lion, because of his braveness, keep the fight until the black sparrow and the dark horse defeat him, in a great battle. Ending when the lion told his last words:

“The end of the world will be
When the men’s don´t see
That their wisdom is what’s left
To face the dark itself”
