Osiris and Anubis

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Oct 29, 2019 

Gods 
of distant past.
Temples built,
prayers,
devotions,
offerings made.
Millions born
then die 
believing.
Time
 moves on,
new beliefs
emerging.
New gods
to adore.
Evolution 
of beliefs,
mankind’s
enduring quest.
What to believe?
What is truth?
Where is truth?
When is truth?
Is it coming?
Has it been?
Is man 
capable of
knowing 
truth?
New reality.
Always new
realities.
Coming faster
all the time,
coming faster.
Faster and faster.
What to believe?
What truth
to believe?
Who’s truth
to believe?
Seduction 
of technology,
future god
to billions
