Understanding2

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Sep 18, 2023 

Understanding.
Ritual.
Primitive
unsure
mind.
Grasping
nature,
meaning.
Mired in
shallowness.
Deep
yearning
to know.
Creating
primitive
narratives
making
sense.
Scaffolding
built.
Civilization’s
seed.
Planted in
fear.
Anger
frustration.
Superstition.
Meaning.
Longing
for
meaning.
Making
sense.
Doomed
to failure.
Truth.
Understanding,
beyond
scope of
design.
