Prophets

All is well. Isn't it?








Sometimes my beloved man-child, you amaze me
With your conservatism and reluctance to change
Turning the potential you have into utter mockery
Sparing me the trouble to manipulate and arrange
Matters to preserve this most marvelous illusion
That keeps you trapped in your gloomy existence
Of agony and fear, of inadequacy and confusion
What’s really astounding is the lack of resistance
Your voracious taste for things that don’t matter
You make life so easy and it keeps getting better


What annoys me are those prophets among you
Who never cease to dispense their paranoid lies
Speaking of things of which they have no clue
Who want to remove the shells from your eyes
Bombarding you with the mirages they present
That are nothing but jumbled thoughts without
Any sort of foundation and concrete argument
And wild theories noone knows anything about
It’s best to ignore them for they’re quite insane
They haven’t a thing to lose and plenty to gain


Let church, administration and science explain
All things that may appear inexplicable to you
Offering answers that make sense and remain
A vital source when you’ve no idea what to do
The media will tell you what you need to know
They will spell out who is good and who is bad
Who to follow and believe, who is friend or foe
And who is trying to place lies into your head
All has been arranged for you to benefit from
Since the day we made you, till kingdom come


Just leave it to us and everything will be okay
Had we not been here things would be worse
Than you ever could have imagined in any way
We'll take care of you, and ward off the curse
That conspiracy theorists continue to talk about
In fact there’s no such thing, they tell dirty lies
The stilted diseases and disasters will turn out
To be nothing but a unjustified, unobvious vice
Existing only in a twisted and misguided mind
Containing alleged truths that you'll never find

Extremely deep and meaningful poetry here Rage and very well written,
the almost gothic and sinister picture adds very nicely to the ambience of the piece.
thank you for sharing

A powerful soliloquy/sermon on the modern individual's failure to effectively discern significance and take responsibility for our personal and collective experiences of what we call realityl A deeply satisfying write that's definitely worth a few more reads. Thank you for posting it.

A lot of what you say is true Rage, and I agree with it!...I'm always trying to get people to do their own research find things out for themselves, using common sense, with balanced reasoning. Don't just let others do all your thinking for you. Elections are coming up and most people vote for who some tv person or hollywood star tells them to. Others do what their parents always did. We need more people who take time to research things for themselves, in all areas. Politics, environment religion,spirituality, childrens schooling etc. That is the only way to improve this confused world.

The life line of man remains an adventure ongoing. The evil lives on as centuries before and the beliefs of others that don't run in the same direction , continuously makes martyrs of so many amd nay sayers of the rest. In the individual, there lies a differece either accepted or denied. I am a Unitarian, so I accept believing for all religions an individual's decision. With this collective positivity on religion...we experience and exude harmony toward others. This works for me as I seek the harmony that is the only answer.
Love...
Shalom...

Reviewed by richard cederberg 9/29/2006
This reads as a intellectualized conspiracy theory in itself.

The problem with bad-mouthing others of spiritual conviction is that you leave yourself open to the same treatment. No one knows everything, and those that purport to do so are diluded.

Let the warriors be warriors and swing their swords under their own convictions. In the end we will know for sure who was enlightened and who wasn't. Until then ... extend a helping hand and love thy neighbor.
