Input

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Aug 15, 2020 

Here.
Eyes opened.
Look around.
First day 
on the 
path.
Mind clear.
Process 
begins.
Pumping.
Information.
Information 
pumped in
through the
senses.
Birth location
colors the
input.
Future beliefs
planted by
bias.
Mind, 
beliefs molded, 
conforming.
Conflict built in.
Passing on
ancient beliefs.
Beliefs built
from the 
unknown.
Beliefs 
built from 
ignorance,
built from 
fear.
Modernity planted
on weak
 foundations.
Modernity,
struggling 
to overcome.
Global conflict.
Conflict of
ideas, beliefs.
Truth.
Path forward.
Modernity 
searching.
Searching for
truths path.
A path into
the future.
A path 
all can 
peacefully walk.
