Merchants of Deceit
Psycroptic

They were watching...nListening Ever patient awaiting the time.nFor they knew it would come it has always been so.nThus, forward they came...nAn appeal to the heavens, spoken an age ago.nPleading for answers, offering all that was possessed.nShaman: scholars of the time close to the answer,nIncapable of reaching perfect enlightenment -nYet, help they would receive, at a price so immense, ambitious and selfish...nA mistake they should not have made.nOur ancestors- our past has become our demise.nOur ancestral representatives celebrated the arrivalnThe visitors from the sky...nJoyous with the knowledge that their appeal had been answered.nThese visitors - describing themselves as celestial gatherers, traders, explorers.nA half truth.nMasking the deception beneath.nOffering answers...nKnowledge and Truth...nBut at a price, A fair exchange...nThey requested life...nAghast...nApprehensive...nThe forefathers refused.nNegotiating; the travellers explained that it would not be their lives;nNot those of the present era.nIt Would be the future populous: An age away: An age beyond imagination...nOur age.nNervously an agreement was made.nThe celestial ones prepared to reveal their knowledge with the select few to do with as they saw fit.nThe chosen, schooled by the visitors from the sky not foreseeing the knowledge that lag aheadnNot foreseeing the knowledge they would learn...nUnable to be purged from their mind...nIrreversible.nDeparting, the travellers were seen no more.nThe selected were left with knowledge unimaginable.nDisturbed, overwhelmed - no choice but to cease their own existence.nTheir lives had become futile, with their infinite comprehension.nLives forfeit by their own trembling hands.nBlood spilled instead of answers...nLong forgotten...nUnaware that we must uphold this pact...nA deal that exists despite the weakest of principalsnThey will fulfil a bizarre religious crusade.nWe belong to the celestial ones: The harvesters of the foolish...nTraders and gatherers they are: cunning in their methods.nExchanging what is required fur their spiritual needs our lives...nAny life unworthy...nMust be halted.nSustaining their faith.nThe unworthy are those who mishandle true insight.nBetraying their future our planet, placed in total stasis...nWith no meaningful continuation.nLike countless before, and endless to come.nThis is how it will continue...nTo save their own being.nGiving a function, a purpose to their all-knowing lives.nThis is their belief... to weed out the feeble in the cosmosnThose who do not learn should not progress...nThose without understanding should not continue...
