The Prophecy Deliverer
(A Short story
by Dewan Mehdi Ajoy)

Mortal beings plead touched the “Immortal
warriors” heart. For he never expected such response from earth bounded souls.
“Oh Earth!
The place of dirt and dust!”-That was
the expression higher existence used to use to define the earth.
And earth truly was a place of great
ignorance. There was no light of knowledge. For this reason there was no bacon
of hope. So no prosperity followed its dwellers. Satisfaction of anger and rage
was their primary goal of life. This caused great suffering among them. Death
and destruction was daily segment of life. In a word it was a cursed place. It
was a waste land. Where no good can be cultivated. Where trees of happiness can
never spread out its branches in boundless joy and happiness.
But now
they wanted knowledge! Now they wanted goodness!
They realized eye for an eye will blind them all. So
they wanted peace. So they wanted prosperity. For this the immortal warrior
changed his prophecy. And declared-
“What I said previously,
Is now reverted forever.
For you have changed your nature,
In search of good endeavour.
Peace will rain form paradises,
And blessing will fill,
Everybody’s heart
in peace.
Like a beautifully crafted new song,
Dancing in ease.
So knowledge! Knowledge!
Cry out oh! Human beings!
That is the word,
For you to cheer all century.
It is a gift,
That will
always bring you happiness,
Nothing but
only welfare for eternity.”
So
the light of knowledge gave birth to a new age. It was called the age of “enlightenment”.
This understanding lead to the invention of reading and writing. And the earth
became a paradise.
