Tainted World

 
It was a nation that thrived on knowledge
On education
On the understanding that every citizen had a responsibility
To learn and grow and share their wisdom

And they thrived
Every resident kept to their promise
Working with the each generation
Teaching them ways that were truly synergistic
Harmonious and altruistic
Elevating them to a new level

Theirs was a state of scholars and craftsmen
Poets and scientists
Artists and Engineers
Historians and thinkers who sought out truth and purpose

Everyone knows that with scientific thought
Knowledge grows
And here was a society which flourished
Without greed or avarice
Happiness was attained by love and brotherhood

Some centuries later
Settlers discovered their land
And upon reaching their shores
They brought with them a darkness
War and disease
Tainting the land and their hearts

The colonizers
Not understanding these ways
Destroyed most of the evidence
Giving way to a new
Tainted world
