Ideas

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jun 17, 2021 

Ideas.
Infection.
People
are people.
Empty
vessels
at birth.
Differentiated.
People
do not
control.
Merely
empty
vessels
filled.
Ideas
control.
Conflicting,
competitive
ideas.
Infection.
Inhabiting
the beast.
Virus like,
spreading.
Spreading
through
populations.
Spreading,
sowing conflict.
Pitting
one against
another.
Ideas
Inhabiting
the soul.
People’s
minds.
Controlling
actions.
Ideas live.
Living
in  beings
like software,
motivating,
manipulating
actions.
People,
pawns in
the game
of alien
design,
thought.
Game
of the
gods.
Ideas
pulling 
levers.
People infected,
not in
control.
