Saga

From time immemorial the
Human saga has raged..
There is no end to the drama
Of mind and spirit
Though we are housed in fleshly
Bodies we are beside ourselves
In an endless quest for meaning
That transends the vile flesh of
Our lower estate
We are but beasts endowed with
A magnificent idea
We turn inanimate objects and
Futile imaginings into household
Gods
That serve to titilate the bankrupt
Consciousness of a dying species
An earth on its endless track through
Space surely bereaves the hardhearted
And stiffnecked inhabitants she carries
We will have our kings, our nation, and
Our covenents
We will exact revenge on the fools who
are blind to the wisdom of our ways
We shall build a kingdom to last a thousand
Years and forgeting that the cemetary is
The eternal residence for many such kingdoms
But the fire of genius will ever push forward
The invention of man shall minipulate the
Code of knowledge til we shall at last immortalize
Ourselves
We extort the sweat of the weak to advance
Ourselves
We kill with impunity because evolution determines
The survival of the fittest
The battle of the god's shall be determined by the
Number of opposing opinions we destroy
Truth, if there be a truth is just a thorn in
Our side
Why confuse ourselves with the facts?
We'll just take our lifestyles as far as
We can take it
And if there's some sort of day of reckconing
At the end of the day well.. we'll cross that
Bridge when we get to it.

Wow... an amazing write, Cafe Jim. You know, as I've said in the past, you can write with the best.

But this transcends the importance of how well something is written. This is so deep... it's also so real, so true- so very important to understand... if we could only see...

Just a fabulous write... will have to visit this again, as there's so much here... I can't do it justice in just one reading.

Wonderful, wisdom-filled, insightful - we better not just 'cross that bridge when we get to it'... sad flower

Cat.. I like to write these kind of poems dear. I hope to get better
at this style of writing. Is it poetry or something else? I may be
tar and feathered before it's all over.grin
I find your comments to be amazingly in tune to every word I write.

marikia.. Thank you dear for that fine comment. I've always
highly admired the infamous Gandhi statement. It was like
reading twenty volumes in one sentence.

anything more to what you've already stated. Thank you for taking all that
