This has Gosa left behind Gosas Prophecy

This had Gosa left behind.¹

All people hail.
I have named none to honoured Mother for I wot none, and it is better for you to have no Mother than one upon whom you may not rely.

The bad time is gone by, but there comes another.
Earth has not borne it and Wralda has not created it.⁵
It comes out of the east, from the bosom of the priests.

So much grief shall it bring forth, that Earth can not altogether drink the blood of her slain children.

Gloom shall she spread over the ghost of the people, like thunder clouds over sunlight.
All about and always shall guile and power struggle against right and freedom.

Right and freedom shall collapse and we with them.¹⁰
But this victory shall work its own loss.

Of three words shall our posterity teach their people and slaves the meaning.
They are common love, freedom and right.

At first shall it glare, afterwards fight against gloom so that it becomes bright and clear in every heart and head.

Then shall force be swept from the earth like thunder clouds by storm wind and all tyranny shall have no power thereagainst.¹⁵
Gosa.
