Mythology

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Sep 27, 2023

Mythology.
Greatest
mysteries.
Humanity’s
greatest
unknown.
Death.
Pondered
for
millennia.
Globally.
Different
regions.
Different
mythos.
All
different.
All
the same.
Human
minds
questioning,
wondering.
Unique
narratives,
interpretations.
Same
destination.
What’s
after death?
Rich
tapestries
woven.
Wrapping
minds around
meaning.
Scaffolding
built to
explain the
unexplainable.
Generations
clinging for
meaning,
understanding.
Reason
to be.
Point.
All so
different.
All the
same.
Born
out off
ignorance
adherence
the same.
Ancient
sky dancer
fire walks
offered
control.
Screams
of the
mortal,
shadows
dancing
on the
stones.
