Everything

poem by: John Prophet
Written on May 02, 2023

Everything.
Look
around.
Trials,
tribulations.
Glorious
success.
All things
from one
tiny
place.
One dot
in space.
Great
religions.
Great
civilizations,
ebb and
flow.
Gods,
they come
and they
go.
Everything,
from a
limited
place.
Limited
mind.
All believed
until it’s
not.
Till something
new,
better
comes
along.
Fervent
faith in
what’s
concocted.
What’s
dreamed
up.
Narratives
spun.
Faith in
mortal
imagination,
stories told.
Mind’s design
what minds
understand.
Nothing more.
Small place,
limited
understanding.
It’s all
they know.
