A History

And there arose
a religious class,
pious and gentle.

Who, after time,
slowly
garnered many followers.

And they became the Overlords
of those followers.

And soon
they became the Overlords
of everybody else,
whether they were followers or not.

For surely it was righteous
to force others to follow,
for they had the Truth.

But after time,
many forgot
just what that Truth was.

And they rose up against each other.
And much suffering and death
were the result.

And surely,
all would have perished
had not the very wisest of the Priests
remembered just what that Truth was
that they all had forgotten.

And that was
that there was no truth at all.
