Analysis of Shepherds Of The Plane



Humanity still struggles to comprehend
That all life on earth is for us to tend
We must cease our pillaging of this great land
Instead, care for all life as it was planned

We are the shepherds of the plane
Our destructive behaviour is beyond insane
There’s a reason we are the most evolved
Ain’t a problem for us that can’t be solved

Supremely created by our father above
Our little hearts are capable of so much love
Solely responsible for the earth’s almighty pain
We are the shepherds of the plane

A golden age is upon us; soon we’ll understand
Back to nature we are going; immense change is at hand
Our soul vibration will soon increase
As we stand on the precipice of wondrous peace

New forests will emerge, and greenery will flourish
A bountiful world to thrive and nourish
Water’s will sparkle once more for Mother Earth
A new beginning is at hand, a welcome rebirth

We are the shepherds of this great plane
The devil grips us no more; we’ve broken the chain
Freed from the shackles of our crippling fears
Together, we weep in a sea of glorious tears

About this poem

This is a poem about humanity, and our struggle to comprehend exactly who we are and what our purpose is on this wonderful earthly plane, we are responsible for the management of this realm and are failing terribly, when we come to terms and grasp who we are, we will break the chains of sin and create a magnificent world where all life will be respected and given the opportunity to flourish.
