The Modern Myth of Life and Thought

.         It begins with a structure: Delegate the past to the present.              It is formed -- it is forged, and then made inbred and incessant.         With hard-love, it is taught, conformed, and then expected;              one should not think for themselves, be deemed misdirected.          Here’s how it is: Just look! Have a glimpse for yourself:              CNN is live! It’s endorsed! Talk about shameless, never mind the wealth.         The common thief, humanity as a whole, has elected another monster,                                      forgotten about history, the collective, and the inner sponsor of the soul.                            Time has not forgotten, it’s only a memory of recollection                                that resides within the human heart, provides-- gives retrospection;                           However distant the knowledge is of “what-it-is” we think we know,                                         the further away we then find ourselves, the right answer is always no.                             But the tides of life, unknown they churn, beyond the grasp of state and mind,                                  deciphers what I’ve always known, just outside of space and time.                            Who’s the one that dared to claim that the Earth was completely round?                                   Ya’ll silly people, Kings and Queens, with thy ignorance profound.
