Archaic

John Prophet

The past,

myth.

How 

things were.

What

was thought.

History,

built on

Itself.

Archaic thought,

held high as

truth. 

Misty past,

cloaked in

mystery,

superstition,

fear. 

Deep past

shrouded in

Ignorance.

Shrouded in

fear. 

Today, modernity 

leaning on 

ignorance,

leaning on

fear. 

Clinging 

to the

past.

Holding

ancient myths

as gospel.

Gospels controlling.

Future,

what’s to come.

Heavy, dense.

unwieldy.

Shattering archaic 

thought.

Archetypical

 thinking,

losing resonance.

Evolving,

blending,

as more is

learned.

Infinitely

more to

learn.

Old ways die.

Die hard!

Infinitely 

more to

learn.

The future,

 leaving 

the past to

fade away,

disappear.

Disappear

into the

ether.

As if never

here.

Never 

here at all.

    The past will always be there but history has always been written by winners - what it the losers were right.

      โ€œwhat it the losers were right.โ€ Good question, perhaps is parallel reality they did. ๐Ÿ˜‰
