The eternal garden - Part 1

There was a way by the Enoch road
Which led to an eternal garden.
No one has yet entered
For the way was tough
The bravest soldier
It's been told died just ten miles in.
One day, when the day was almost forgotten
Came a boy, almost fifteen
Dressed in an unknown garb
He looked princely
He was definitely the Son of a King
Came to us all, with a book and no more.
Fear, not villagers, do not fear my light he said.
We all in silent stood until a soul asked in dread,
What is the eternal garden like
Does it really exist,
Have we in vain sought the rest of eternal life?
The regal boy for a minute answered not
Then turned his back
And like a general implored us all declaring
Come, poor souls, a battle must be fought
For great darkness in ten days must be gone
Or your whole city will be forever embalmed
And you all to hades will descend.
We are ruined the oldest man cried
My great grandfather, he is almost ready to die,
Woe is us, double woe to our kids
Kind Prince is there not a saviour for us to reach?
