Flowing Souls
John Prophet Dec 2022
Flowing souls.
Incoming.
Passing
through.
Splashing,
crashing.
Kicking up
along the
way.
Spinning
eddies
forming.
For a
time taking
shape.
Spinning
till they’re
not.
Dissipates.
Flushing
out.
Moving
on.
Making
room
for­ the
next.
Flowing
souls.
Heading
out.
Destination,

There Was A Time
John Prophet Jul 2023
There was
a time
when
people
were
entitled
to their
opinions.
There was
a time
when
there
was a
political
center.
Most
where
ether
center right
or
center left.
These people
could
talk to
each other.
No more.
Everything’s
been pushed
to the
margins.
Ultra right.
Radical left.
No understanding.
No compromise.
Battle lines
drawn!
Ends
justify
the means.
Sad…..

The Watchers
John Prophet Dec 2021
Watchers.
They watch.
From on
high.
From a
different
realm.
They watch.
Eons
pass
and they
watch.
Generation
after
generation
they come.
Watching.
Seeing.
Noting.
Each
epoch
the same.
Leaders,
despots
followers.
Human
nature
reflects
the same.
Each epoch
the same.
On the
edge.
Despotism
makes
a run.
Always
the same.
Each epoch.
Modernity.
Despotism,
advanced
technology.
Bad juju.

Curbed,

capacity.
Confined
in space
and time.
Boxed in.
Working
with what’s

One tree

Governed by

Paradox
John Prophet Aug 2021
Where
are they?
The question
asked is.
The Fermi
Paradox.
Where are
they?
Where are
the others?
From other
stars.
Are we
alone?
Naive,
stupid
question!
Look around.
Animals on
this rock.
Slaughtering
millions.
Millions
of us.
Wars, murders
by the score.
Blood letting
on a  horrific
scale.
Murdering
each other
as easily
as falling
off a log.
Human nature.
We can’t
even see it.
It’s normalized.
It’s what
animals do.
Where are
they?
You’ve got
to be
kidding.
Why the
hell
would they
want to
deal with
us?
If we
slaughter
our own
with such
ease…..

Between.
A time
in-between.
A place
between
darkness.
A spot
of light
where
existence
lay.
Surrounded
by oblivion.
A bubble
of reality,
embedded
in nothing.
Short lived
reality.
Here today
gone tomorrow.
Pool of
moisture
where
fauna dwell.
Trivial
mindless
dwellers,
in oblivion’s
midst.
Drops
of rain.
Manifestations
of probability

Going

Gods signify
primitive thought.
Minimal
understanding
of
ultimate
truth,
reality.
Ultima­te
knowledge
is godless.
