Lore

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jun 08, 2024 

Lore.
Fertile
minds
of the
past.
Ancient
construction.
Limited
understanding,
worldview.
Concepts.
Stories.
Germinated.
Simple
tales.
Passed
along.
Forward.
Mythologies
taught.
Generation
to generation.
Massaged,
evolved,
fine tuned.
Millenia
pass.
Simple
concepts
enhanced,
fleshed
out.
Over time.
Grand
stories
told.
Old
to the
young.
So on
and
so on.
Stories
like glue.
Holding
to the
past.
Holding
on to
superstitions.
Notions
eons
bygone.
Stuck to
ancient
philosophies.
As
gospel!
