Manipulated.

Earthbound.
Born.
Raised.
Buried.
From
dust to
dust.
Earthbound
philosophy.
Sprung up
from
below.
All
civilizations
germinated.
All interactions
governed.
All beliefs
evolved.
Terrarium,
small view.
Limited.
All within
limited
bounds.
Self
impressed
imprisoned
beings.
Kings
of­ an
anthill,
lost in
eternity.
Floating
in forever.
Big
picture
beyond
scope.
Unaware
of anything
but what’s
discernible.
What five
senses
allow.
Narratives.
Caught
up in
earthly
drama.
Looking
up, only
lights
in the
sky.
Refocused
earthbound.
Insignificant
smudge
in the
void.
Earthly
power
and control.
All that’s
understood.

Before.
What was
believed?

was it
believed?
Millennia
past.
Belief
systems
archaic
today
held
sw­ay.
Medical
beliefs.
Scientific
beliefs.
Religious
beliefs.
Many more.
Seeming
innocent
today.
Time passes.
Understanding
alters,
evolves,
matures.
Advances
in science,
medicine
altered
the world.
For thousands
of years
millions
worshiped
gods
no longer
in vogue.
Born
into
ancient
thinking.
Centuries
from now
one
wonders.
Wonders
what
miracles
of science
and medicine
will appear.
What gods
will be
adored?
