Frightful

John Prophet

Frightful.
Reality 
is a 
frightful 
place.
Eyes open,
world
surrounds.
Instantly.
Limited 
view,
all things
new.
Making
sense,
understand.
Why?
Who?
When?
Many 
questions,
precious 
few answers.
Grappling,
searching.
Answers.
Asking those
who came
before.
Surely 
answers 
to be
had.
Ancient 
wisdom.
They’d 
know.
Old
thinking.
Clueless.
Little 
known.
Voodoo,
black magic.
Superstition.
Gods and
demons.
Broken
narratives,
promises.
Power,
control.
Not answers
found.
From then
till now.
Just
questions.
Nothing
more.

      I find, the older I get (71) the more questions I have.
      Thanks for reading Andy.
