Archaic

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Feb 22, 2020

The past,
myth.
How 
things were.
What
was thought.
History,
built on
Itself.
Archaic thought,
held high as
truth. 
Misty past,
cloaked in
mystery,
superstition,
fear. 
Deep past
shrouded in
Ignorance.
Shrouded in
fear. 
Today, modernity 
leaning on 
ignorance,
leaning on
fear. 
Clinging 
to the
past.
Holding
ancient myths
as gospel.
Gospels controlling.
Future,
what’s to come.
Heavy, dense.
unwieldy.
Shattering archaic 
thought.
Archetypical
thinking,
losing resonance.
Evolving,
blending,
as more is
learned.
Infinitely
more to
learn.
Old ways die.
Die hard!
Infinitely 
more to
learn.
The future,
leaving 
the past to
fade away,
disappear.
Disappear
into the
ether.
As if never
here.
Never 
here at all.
