Cheerful Poem about the Final Kingdom of Meteor

Post by dune » October 13th, 2016, 10:10 pm

From both ends of the earth,
Polar opposites will arc skyward,
the coming storms, searing winds,
the black, white everything nothing,
the Horsemen on their dismal mounts,
Revelation ripping seals from hot flesh,
roads to hell paved with soul collectors,
bombed-out eyes, desolate altars of truth.

Thus, it was written.

How did America become a "desolate alter of truth"
there is no news or journalism it's just mindless entertainment

What happened to rage against the machine.
Blame it on the lack of poetry or civics classes or something.

I was goooooglin' around (gawd, could someone please get me a life?), and it's funny what comes up when you put in 'armageddon' or 'apocalypse'-- lots of religious shitshow stuff, but that whole branch of grim speculation might be way too arrogant-- you see this when the other (scientificated) branch comes up, with its meteor strikes and such. This "God" won't need any convoluted mass-theological collective cratering human-driven implosion to bring The End-- no, She could just send a few meteors or something. Much quicker...

Thanks all. Yes, revR, all of the above. The"news" IS entertainment. We have troops warring in Iraq again. No one knows. But we damn well know who we're starting at running back for our fantasy football teams ...

It's really difficult to talk about this stuff, I read all this stuff too, I just listened to some guy talk about his theory of Bible scripture of world war, I just don't get it, what would Jesus come back to, a rubble of dead cities. It just don't make any sense. As far as I can tell Christianity somehow got a toe hold after the Jews did.There is some kind of cognitive dissonance here, and they have been able to keep it going for some two thousand years, their whole thing balances on the end of the world. It is so weird that these religious types can talk about this stuff as if it was written in stone, and never see what they are really saying, no matter how I look at it, I just don't get it. I felt that way as a young teenager, and poetry seemed like the only way to try to make any sense of the sense blackout.

And one other thing Science acts more like a religion, because we are spoon fed our truth, I mean on one hand you could see something like the hand of the universal creator, but because we are constantly being spun jobbed
look out here comes the space rocks, if the rocks don't get you the ufo's will. :roll:

It's always dangerous to talk religion: always a chance you might piss someone off. But, what the hell anyway; for all we know, maybe I'm Jesus. I mean, my name means "of Nazareth," after all...

Seriously though, he's not coming back, people. We're going to have to deal with our own shit.
... Christianity somehow got a toe hold after the Jews did.There is some kind of cognitive dissonance here, and they have been able to keep it going for some two thousand years.
They've done it by creating theologies that tie Old Testament prophecies with New Testament stories of Jesus' arrival on earth-- creating links with ancient (Old Testament) Israel in the process. The Evangelicals are huge on these connections-- which are making for some dangerous world views re: the Middle East especially (See Bush, George W., for example).
... their whole thing balances on the end of the world. It is so weird that these religious types can talk about this stuff as if it was written in stone, and never see what they are really saying...
True. There is some agreement I suppose among the various End-Timer belief systems, but there seems to be far more disagreement than agreement as to how it's all "supposed" to play out. These folks can't even get their stories to match...

That said, let's not flatter ourselves too much over our supposed coming religiously-sanctioned self-destruction. The meteor might get us first.

It would seem that the stories don't match, because they were never meant to, or more to the point if you sift through the stories, there must be some fragments of things that represent how things unfolded, but it's all been obscured, just that certain agendas were put upon the humans, which have brought humans to the juncture we are now. Poetry tries to keep us honest.
