The ultimate weapon obliterates clarity of mind and soul
Only misguided fools and irrational dreamers
Survive its invisible fallout
Merely by believing in the power of its suggestion
The ultimate weapon is defensive as well as offensive
It is detonated by pious creeds,
Planetary methodology and cosmic decree
It has been designed in secret yet universally acknowledged
And its effects are intrinsically stealthy
For even as the self-anointed advocate grace
They also announce the end is inevitable
And uncomfortably close
And survival is a chosen quest of faith
So no wonder everything is all screwed up
The ultimate weapon
Is emblazoned onto the historic synapses of cultural demarcation
Its trepidation scribed onto the parchment of stone and flesh
And will endure as a deterrent to knowledge
Long after we’re all dead

More human beings have suffered and died as a direct result of organized religion than any other cause. You've hit the nail once again with this insightful piece of brilliance!

Yes the world will end a thousand times, the question is when will we ackbowlege that is the world will be forever in existence as long as we need it?
Jude, this is a wonderful and insightful commentary. I feel that the ultimate weapon (that we wield against ourselves) is a combination of ignorance, prejudice, closed-mindedness and hypocrisy; and the ultimate defense against the ultimate [self-destructive] weapon is a combination of truth, perseverance and self-realization. Wonderful write! -- Jeff
Mankind may well be intelligent, but what is that measure of intellect worth when mankind is not able to make wise decisions and sensible judgements! The repeated failures, not willing to absorb knowledge and then further, disregarding all past experience, thus leading to a lack of "Wisdom" ! How sad to be ruled by incapacity!
Jude~
YOu shared so much in this well thought out write~!
I fear there is so much more learning and caring, that so many still need to be aware!
WE still need to believe in Visualization and ACTions and even
thought-actions!
BEing POsitive!
Thinking Positive!
Heading out in a POsitive way, is a good beginning to change!
We must still keep believing~!
You gave us deep thoughts here and Sage too, Whew!
I read and read and nodded my head!-YES- Oh, that's true
Stay SAFE!

God Bless!
Amen!
A powerful and insightful write my friend, a look at mankind with a very perceptive eye. We do seem to continually make mistakes some greater than others, but little is done to correct them, as well as many do not learn from their mistakes. You've penned a truthful and profound write my friend, expressed with excellence! Enjoyed!
Blessings,

"Its trepidation scribed onto the parchment of stone and flesh" ... and not carved into the life-blood of soft hearts, or else would we be tender to its all-encompassing message, perhaps. The Letter of the Law kills but the spirit of what it intends is fundamentally the peace that all peoples seek, pertaining to justice, harmony and fruitful living across the whole earth. It's calcification has been and is paid for in deathly attitudes and deeds. Reminds me of a desert of dry bones awaiting the breath of life to rekindle the shrivelled flesh. Such sooth-saying is of the thinking of those "misguided fools and irrational dreamers" who "survive" to restore clarity of mind and soul. Amazingly sharp and tightly crafted for such complex imagery and postulations. Bullseye, Jude! :)) TY Kate xx
I pray this poem could have world wide circulation, it is a gem of rare quality
depicting how humanity will perish from the wide spread, negativity and ignorance that we have allowed to dominate our society while leaders
in all fields,seek first, power
money and self-aggrandisement! Bravo Jude, on an exceptional brilliant indictment of the impoverished predicament our world is in!
Wow this is a powerful weapon of write!
As my eyes dance through the page
I couldn't help feeling your beautiful sense of
Wisdom but in this case the ultimate weapon is your mind!
And the magic of the feathers of your quill.
Outstanding Powerful Write!

Yes, whatever Sage said. She used up all the words.
While misguided fools limit their attention to earth impactors, it is wise to remember that there are more things "in Heaven and Earth" to be concerned about - - the solar environment, the galactic field and its constituents, and even the earth beneath our feet.
Each of the systems of stars and planets represented, in this manner is indeed a temptation to the souls. Each represents also an opportunity for development, advancement, and growth toward the ideal of complete companionship with God - the position of co-creator in the vast and wonderful system of universal mind.
The solar system attracts souls, and since each system is a single expression, with its planets as integral parts, the Earth comes into the path of souls.
It is an expression of God with its own laws, its own plan, its own evolution. Souls, longing to feel the beauty of the seas, the winds, the forests, the flowers, mixed with them and expresses themselves through them. They also mingle with the animals and make, in imitation of them, thought forms. (This was the Age of Fable, when gods and goddesses -- the souls --roamed the Earth, turning into trees, speaking from rocks, and inhabiting the bodies of Centaurs, Cyclops, and other creatures which were half animal, half human). But it was a playing, an imitating, that interfered with what had been set in motion gradually entangling the souls, so that they became trapped in the plane of Earth's evolution, inside the bodies they had themselves created.
Ultimate Weapon can be found in spiritually dark forces and they are found in forces of Light from the Godhead. But one might lean to the latter explanation if the outside forces are related to ongoing expansion of the universe, and simply an expectable part of Earth's evolution. In this case, "the forces" cause unenlightened, socially conditioned human beings to start wars. Men have "forgotten" who rules the "influences of the stars, planets, Sun, and moon," or other elements of the space environment for that matter. "Do ye rule them, or do they rule you?"

Phylos's vision of "solar heats," predicted to occur about now, here at the end of the Piscean Age. Phylos describes the outbreak of a worldwide conflict that:
Nature completing, will leave living but one where now are many., for in that day none will pause to bury the slain until the evil is wrought, nor then, for the dead of the plagues will be as thousands for every one by violence. And all this because the love that should grace and soften men's hearts, each for all and all for each, dried up and became a mockery in the close of the ended cycle, leaving but scattered oases, few and far between. Nature follows man. Wherefore the waters of Earth will dry out, rains be withheld, cyclones sweep, and earthquake come such as was not since a man was on the earth; aye, mindful of Poseidia? But all of this will occur through natural causes, and in consonance with the selfishness, lust, greed, anger and general depravity of the Type. As these blaze in the human breast, so shall the air, dry and vaporless under brazen skies, develop solar heats more fierce than history ever knew. A parched earth, furnace-like, piling all flesh mountains high; pestilences stalking unchecked...
This write is in alignment with THE FIRE NEXT TIME, the eight souls in the ark - Will this entity see such, the Deluge, again in the Earth? Will it be among those who may be given those directions as to how, where, the elect may be preserved for the replenishing again of the Earth? Remember, not by water -- for it is the mother of life in the Earth -- but rather by the elements, fire...THE POWER OF SUGGESTION!!!!
