Part VIII, Legacy

VIII. Now it came to pass that these Men
Established rule unto his past doom and Earth,
And tried not to forget his utmost allies:
Those be Compassion and Mercy and Spirit,
And tried to learn their unfamiliar ways,
And so Men did learn about their ways.

But the spoils of wars were many,
And into these spoils were some survivors
And the survivors turned their face
And Men saw a distortion of himself:
Thus Men built a house of habitation
And let his distortion live in thick darkness.

And the name of this distortion was Fear,
And he lived with his son, Not-Understanding:
While the son has life among Men,
So shall Fear live in the house of abomination.
For Men fears and lives in fear
Only from the things he does not understand.

I know I keep harping on and pointing to the same inconsistencies... I am trying, really, to see Men as Man but inwardly, even after a few read, I am self-correcting. Starting to believe it's just me lol.
