Ideas

John Prophet

Ideas.
Infection.
People
are people.
Empty
vessels
at birth.
Differentiated.
People
do not
control.
Merely
empty
vessels
filled.
Ideas
control.
Conflicting,
competitive
ideas.
Infection.
Inhabiting
the beast.
Virus like,
spreading.
Spreading
through
populations.
Spreading,
sowing conflict.
Pitting
one against
another.
Ideas
Inhabiting
the soul.
People’s
minds.
Controlling
actions.
Ideas live.
Living
in  beings
like software,
motivating,
manipulating
actions.
People,
pawns in
the game
of alien
design,
thought.
Game
of the
gods.
Ideas
pulling 
levers.
People infected,
not in
control.

    • L. B. Mek

      (insightful, yet again dear poet
      and thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply)..
      ideology, or spark of ingenuity
      they all stem from those same
      busybody neurons
      that refuse, to live things alone
      always striving
      for better, and so here - We, are
      generations later
      too exhausted to search for our own answers
      yet hard wired, to quest for our new beginning's...
      where the balance, exists
      is when, we'll finally succeed
      or so: 'I Choose, to Think'...
