PSALM 19: FORSAKEN, BUT TO YOU, WHAT ARE WE?

1 You have forsaken us, but what are we to you?

To us, they are our people, one with us. We are no more above them than that terrible man who has forsaken us all. He claims to be all powerful, another level, but he is way beneath us...in hell. But he has taken us all down with him.

2 What is this Nether you keep us in, but you keep us safe with boons and blessings?

After the attack and that man ruined all of us, it was the least we could do to share our boons and blessings with the people we knew could never get to the Other Side. But as they praise us there is always some guilt. They believe that we are gods. Though we are not. We feel the guilt that looms over us like a shadow. They think we shine light on them. But they are the only light in our eyes. To those of the Aether.

3 Why have you blessed us in our already bountiful times, forsaken us in our darkest times, but yet still rise for us when you have more than us?

Their dark times were ours. When they had food, we did too. We shared their fortune. But now, they are less lucky since we have separated. We cannot share our ways of bountifulness anymore, for we are different. So we share our boons and blessing with them, to join us once more as a people.

4 If you are higher, you bless us, you give us your boons, then why are we little less than your own blood, and why to us our own mortal things?

We can't give anymore than mortal things, for we are the same. It's the things they don't have that we give them that make us seem almighty and more bountiful. But we have been through the same things, ups and downs together. We both feel pain, but not anymore. Separated, mentally and physically. They've made this barrier. Though we can slowly build back together, their mental barriers will separate us for as long as they live.

5 What oath have you pledged? What are the things that were promised to make you forsake us when you are needed and bless us when we turn to ashes?

We made an oath. A blood oath to the real gods. The real HOLAY ONES. We promised that we would watch over those who cannot arrive at the Aether. We bless them, we help them. Though we feel pain, just like them. We can never reach them like we used to. Only the real ones can do that now.

6 You have forsaken us, but what are we to you?

Us. We see ourselves in your eyes. Be the future, be the change.

7 What do you want us to do? What can we do to reach you? What can we do so we can live in peace like you do? What do we do? What can we do?

Alas, there isn't anything that can be done to reach the portal for the Aether. You think that we live in peace, but there is war. War in our head. We do not live in peace like you think. There is a battle going on. But there is nothing that you can do. Nothing to reach the Aether. Nothing to bring peace in reality, and to our minds.

8 If you are our guardians, what is there you haven't guarded us from?

Oh, but everything, my people, everything. We are not guardians, just good samaritans. We only do what's right and just. For it is truly right and just to do the will of the HOLAY ONES and save our people. But alas, we are not saviors. Our only label we wish upon having is good people.

9 HOLAY ONES, Equalizers, Saviors, Guardians, but forsakers?

We could never forsake you, for we were forsaken with you. Understand that and wider your mind will be. But for now, provincial your mind will have to be. To keep peace, like you so wish there to be. There is no peace on the Other Side, but don't let there be war to replace it.

9 If only we knew what you knew.

But alas, you cannot if you want everything you say. Hear me when I say, there can be no right or wrong when the truth is heard. And you cannot be robots. And certainly never again slaves of yourself. Or anyone. It is either knowledge or wellbeing, the choice is yours and yours only.

10 If we are so helpless in this Nether, and can never reach the peace, then why do you still try to help us?

We help you because we know you can never be as fortunate as us, finding a land of peace, a land of hope, a land you can thrive in. And most of you can never reach that land. So when the guilty phrase "deliver us" is spoken, we surrender our boons and blessings to you and you only. Because you are our people and whatever you may think is the reason for the HOLAY ONES doing this to you, you do not deserve it.

11 Many have come to the Aether after you, but why can we not? Why can you not allow us to follow in your steps, yet you still bless us?

Those who have the purest of souls and thoughts may come to the Aether, it is not our choosing, however much we wish you could join us, in somewhat peace. We bless you because although you may not come to the Aether, you still deserve to have a life to live.

12 You have forsaken us, but what are we to you?
