There are things in the cosmos of which we are aware, they are being kept from us.

An Age in Retrospect (Take 2)

 

 “Quiet in the studio…and Action!”

 

A coded message, a coded clue

Someone’s watching the human zoo…but who?

The Psalms of David, The Teachings of Paul,

The Gnostic Gospels, searching for a truth

in the library of deception hall.

 

 


The last vestiges of old empires fluttered


like ragged flags on thermals of Iron and Steel,

and the harmonious thunder of war

became a reinvention of the wheel.

A new machine of progress.

E=MC2


 

Japan 1945


And from upon high, a Fat Boy and a Little Man

fell like vengeful Gods upon unsuspecting souls.

The light of their destruction a beacon to far away eyes.

 

 

Roswell 1947


“Majesty! The Maji!

 The Majic twelve have seen a Sign and convened,

 It is as prophesied. They have taken measures,

deciding  by a Majority, opting for a Grudge

against the people. It will identify the weak elements

 in society, and hide the lights in the sky.”

 

“Shining entities attracted to the light like ethereal moths…

Who are these dream-makers from tomorrow land?

Bending space to forth and fifth dimensional skies,

what agenda suits their needs?”

 

“They bring us much in the way of advancement sire, and promise a new age.

Oh! The Maji in view of these new developments have decided to Preserve Destiny”

 

“Preserve Destiny! Ha! That is no doubt an oxymoron,

whose destiny is being preserved I wonder?

Is the Kingdom no longer mine?

Leave me now…fear and doubt plague my thoughts…

be gone! Trouble me no more,

I have no use for your useless treatise…

 

Your shadow is cast in darkness!”

This is fascinating and so well written. I've always wondered about these things, but I couldn't have written something as eloquent as this.

Intriguing and thought-provoking, Paul. As I stated in my bio's intro, and I believe this: There is wisdom in realizing how little one knows. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Love and peace.

The cosmic can only reveal to those who can understand; otherwise it will remain a mystery. A wonderful piece, Paul!

Much to chew on here. I guess the truth is out there, though I hope it easy to understand.

Generally clueless about what has already been revealed, let alone about what is being withheld... YET I can just feel it in me waters that this is true... and that what is concealed is even MORE scary than what we can already know. I am increasingly convinced that just tooo much power is in the hands of too... and the wrong... few. And that it is largely used for the good of those who stand to benefit personally. Altruism tends to fly out of the window when combined with politics, perhaps. And yet, if altruism is lost, then that makes a nonsense of politics, don't it? OK, I'll just shut up and go hug my radiotherapy machine... make it feel as loved as a tree! After all, that IS some sort of progress as a result of "political endeavour" - yes? (Too much sherry with the Sunday roast...:) LOL Kate xx

A dynamically sinister and impressively inventive write. The in-and-out zoom on perspective as well as the tension-laden dialogue has a definite hooks that leaves one more than ready for more. Your accomplishment with this series is truly inspiring.

I truly believe that, and as they say on the X-Files, 'The Truth is Out There.'
