The Land of Heart

In the land of Heart a Spirit called Freedom
Offered wisdom to the people
He told them lay down your swords
Unstring your bows, break your spears
 
He taught them to cultivate Heart
And they flourished
He taught them the commerce of peace
And they prospered
When he taught them to sing they made him king
And there was rapture in the land
 
He taught them the philosophy of love
And they were raised above
All hatred and lies, they became wise
He taught them to meditate and they became great
 
But as the king grew old there was one who grew bold
He looked upon the land with envy
And coveted the king’s throne
He regarded with malice Heart’s golden palace
Wanting it for his own
 
He raised an army of Doubt and Fear
And marched against them
Instructing his generals Greed and Avarice
To destroy all who opposed them
To enslave the others and seize their prosperity
 
But the wise king told his people arise
Put on the armour of your faith
Take up the staff of peace and follow me
Be unafraid for they cannot harm you
 
The enemy attacked with his arrows of hate
And drove in on his chariots of envy
They could penetrate not the shield of strength
Were deflected by the armour of faith
 
Greed and Avarice were confounded
By the generals Love and Generosity
Were dashed on the walls of serenity and tranquillity
And fell upon their swords of sorrow and despair
 
And Heart was at peace once more
