\'Perspective

supply.
Brought

size.
All brought
down to
Earth.
All,
just a
speck
in the
Martian
sky.
Humbling.\'..
indeed, so blatantly articulated even some of us most blinkered can\'t ignore:
\'its surgical precision of poignancy\'..

Beware the

that harrowing image and your words, combine to make such an impactful read - beyond commentary, more an x-ray of society\'s most glaring threat, distilled for us all to read..

thought provoking to say the least! what is meaning? If - but, a derivative of Time, when Time is devoid of choice and absorbed without restraint..
might as well, just take a plunge: hoping for the best..

Yes John, who knows, maybe we are just a giant experiment with eyes we cannot see checking on us once in a while just to see if we are still stupid or if we are finally getting it.

Enlightened minds
answering all of life\'s questions
from one source
a few pages flicked
and then parables repurposed
hastened to ill-fit
as latest answers
to dwindling belief, while
smirking their all-knowing
because their knowledge
is tested on the other side
of existence, how convenient,
so in bleak time\'s
when world is in despair
instead of comfort and solace
they make those same
mistakes
of demonic fear mongering
fantastical tale\'s
trying to scare new members
into their dwindling fold,
elitist mindset\'s displayed proud
scared to question
scared to trust in truth - alone
scared to love anyone
that doesn\'t share
their blinkered views to faith
scared, scared , scared
but it\'s all ok
cause their book
has every answer, its
just them that choose
to translate hate and war
from all those words of love
and peace...
nice and witty write dear poet, how judgementally - inspirational, your words read! me, I play things more direct.. lol

So very true John. It relates to something I say regularly - I have been listening to music of all types throughout my life and I know that the more I get to know about music the more ignorant I realise I am bout it.

when faith systems resort to sales strategy \'witty slogans\'..
I pity what the future holds for humanity\'s moral compass..
I said the same thing, when I first heard that manipulative \'yes we can\' - cheerleader\'s chant, being heralded by conformity\'s self-deluding: geniuses 12 years ago..
(no I am not commenting on the validity of your chosen faith..
no I am not \'having a go\' at you dear poet..
yes my words are often misinterpreted as aggravatingly infuriating: yes, I take full accountability and willingly apologise, sincerely..)
please feel free to delete,
I too think it was unwise of me to write this comment,
but I also stand by what my message represents for those willing to take a second to contemplate my meaning (but then again why should they)..
and no I\'m not a \'lost soul\', I\'m just expressing an opinion, without vindictive or hurtful intent
