Oracle of the Heart

On the breeze I hear

I sense their anguish

I smell their fear

"Humans are a stain,

I disdain them and yet..."

Moses looked away

and I knew he was ashamed.

I decided to relent.

"Many are; its true, Persuveus

Indeed you know for certain

But some are truly kind

and they don't do any hurtin"

"I will set it right," I replied.

"I don't care what it takes

If I have to even bring

extinction in my wake!"

"You've been human too long

You sound like we do

You've got to remember

That just isn't you!"

At the center of the room

an object on the table glowed

"What is that?" Moses asked

"I don't know."

But it was a jewel

that Angel had found

and now it gave off

an odd kind of sound

"Listen now" a voice called,

"It is mother. I am here."

"How can it be?"

"Are you near?"

"Through the oracle

I can yet speak

and give you the guidance

that you seek"

"You are not

to destroy all man

You will instead

help them understand.

"When anger seems

the only way

listen to the words

that I say.

"Relent and think

and consider your part

Focus on this;

The oracle of the heart"

Through my first tears

I nodded and whispered

"Yes, I shall remember

every word."
