Ancient Thought

John Prophet

 

 

Ancient 

thought.

Spinning

up.

Past to

present.

Mesmerizing.

Old ways

still

permeate.

Modernity,

replete.

Fear.

Superstition 

still holding

sway.

Ancient 

thought,

ways 

gripping

firm.

Holding

civilization 

at bay.

Generations

passing forward

superstition,

fear.

Old thought,

how valid?

Truly,

what 

did the

ancients

know?

New

reality 

forming.

Taking

hold.

A.I.

wiping

it all

away.

    We are our past just as one ring in a tree forms around another. Much of the old still has value and the ancients not ignorant as we think were wise. AI may make a new world where much more is lost. A wonderful write John

        The past still has great value today, and one could argue they were wiser than us, but the fear of A.I. is it will wipe and eliminate so much from the past, very enjoyable read
