Another Message to Earthlings

Post by mtmynd » February 23rd, 2020, 4:09 pm

~ another message to earthlings ~

your isolation continues
to damage the good sense
that was bestowed upon you -

a gift from a presence
far greater than your mind
shall ever comprehend

only because your insistence
that the endless wheel of life
must never pause

in the ceaseless search for meaning
that lies but a breath from you
in the deep beyond of Truth.

you whine and moan like children
when your foolish foundation
of economic stupidity begins to crumble,

before your eyes your dreams collapse
as you wonder and question what it was
that brought this on while all along

you saw this coming as your greed
multiplied and grew more quickly
erasing the Truth of Wisdom over matter.

this poison of greed and corruption
you allowed has bitten it's fangs of evil
deep into your needy and jealous mind

delivering a message of doubt and fear
throughout your weakened bodily system
while the life of the sky, the land and sea

continue as they should without
that which you deem as necessary
to your so-called selfish well-being.

you feel as if you deserve more
than this one planet that we've
put you upon many of your years ago

to regain the wisdom that was passed
to you from your original face light years
away in the dark and dusty chambers

of your own collective memories
that you refuse to this day to seek
in favor of child-like dreams

that have become wicked nightmares
that trouble your sleep with visions
of deceit, death and destruction

which are those more recent memories
acquired once you achieved
the art of written communications

that have preserved both ideals and fears
for your own future generations
that have been conditioned into believing...

accepting as the truth these words written
by improbable hands of gods and prophets
that only the strongly imagined among you

claim to have witnessed and obeyed
under the fear and condemnations
of an eternal fire and brimstone life

awaiting you should you choose
not to follow this path of self-destruction
assuring your kind a continued imprisonment

upon this one susceptible planet
verging on the precipice of destruction
by forces which you cannot halt.

may your prayers to the deities
that your have chosen to lead you
across these rivers of doom

be lulled into a state of ignorance
so your cries and screams will not
trouble them as they silently weep

for your souls forever caught in
this web that you alone have chosen
to weave across your planet

only to catch those dreams that
keep you far removed from Truth
that was promised to make you free

I feel like this quite often
think of life on our planet
as merely an experiment
and we are being observed
and recorded from somewhere
other than here and quite often
my conclusion is we were supposed to
learn empathy......that's it
we were tasked to try an get there on our own
but flunked
I like this poem, it speaks to my soul
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

This is the 2nd and possibly last "message" I literally wrote in SOC.
Odd what comes out at those rare times when the ego has no control
over what comes out of the mind. Like being overtaken by something out of one's control.

Thank you, Steve. I appreciate your comments.

I hope it's not the last! This was 'spot on,' if rambling. (But hey, whaddya want with SOC anyway?...)
