Ode to the failure



They came to the land by need
they learned to love the land
they changed their skin
and the land was good

When the evil tempted them
they fell
so they learned to repent
their hearts were so damaged
their heart was transformed
the stone broken and the gold appeared

their life changed,
they learned about the motion of the things
they learned that one can be lost and found
they learned that gold means nothing
