Gods
John Prophet Jun 2023
Gods.
God
is a
concept.
A concept
humanity
holds tight.
A concept
used to
deal
with the
unexplainable.
The unknown.
Over
millennia
gods
have come
and gone.
Generations
lived
believing
in gods
who no
longer
hold sway.
Over time,
hundreds
of gods
have been
prayed to.
Have
inhabited
high places.
Held high
in the
minds
of mankind.
Temples
built then
crumbled.
God’s
who’ve
long faded
from human
consciousness.
Billions
of years
universal
existence.
How many
gods
existed
before
humanity
arrived?
What is,
beyond
human
cognition.

Flash
John Prophet Dec 2023
Flash.
Moment.
Merely
a moment.
Firefly
flash in
eternity.
As creation
spins
taking no
notice.
Indifferent.
Unaware.
Fabric
of reality
uncertain.
Humanity
grunting.
Spinning
in a
raindrop.
Negligible
in the
grand
scheme.
Self
absorbed.
Self
impressed.
Self
important.
­Center
of the
universe.
Firefly
flash.
Perspective
lacking.
Time for
contemplation,
self reflection.
What
to do
with the
flash of
existence.

The Way
John Prophet Nov 2024
The way.
The way
it was.
Instincts
interactions.
Choreographed
dance of
evolution.
Surviving,
just
surviving.
Millions
of years
as such.
As it
was,
now
still.
For now!
Change.
New ways
interactions.
Unimaginable.
The
unimaginable
awaits.
Blendin­g
virtual’s.
Infinite
virtual’s.
New
vistas
approach.
Worlds
beyo­nd
worlds.
Beyond
any that’s
come before.
Great divide,
just
over the
hill.
Absorbing
souls.
Unfathomable.
Reality
twisted.
New ways.
New forms.
New norms.
Deep dive
the rabbit
hole!
Never
to return.

Within3
John Prophet Apr 2024
Within.
It’s all
within.
Working
design.
Humanity
carries
creation
In its
soul.
Where
good and
evil
lurk.
Carries
reality
in its
mind.
Where
deeds are
done.
Mankind
once
believed
it was
the center
of things.
The
universe.
Physically,
science
proved
that
assumption
­incorrect.
Yet, without
the soul
and mind.
Creation
would be
oblivious.
Awareness
is in
fact, the
pulse of
things.
Humanity
is a
way of
creation
realizing
itself.
Metaphysically,
perhaps
the center
of things
after all!

Action!
Life begins.
All scripted,

Grand theater

Envelopes,

the story.
Intricacies
abound.
Infinite
ways.
Bound by

Human intent.
Limited

Limited
outcomes.
Bound by
human frailty.
Human

Wider story

Human story,

ambiguous.

Opaque
John Prophet Apr 2023
Opaque.
Mist.
Existence
in a
mist.
Opaque
creation.
Foggy
eyed view.
Center
of nothing.
Stuck on
a rock,
spinning
in a
void.
Peering
squinty
eyed.
Contriving
in a
limited
place.
Self
indulgent,
terrarium
existence.
Self
import­ant
little beasties.
Spinning
in their
wheels.
Wrecking
mayhem
along
the way.

Barren Land
John Prophet May 2024
Barren land!
Alone
in a
desolate
place.
Hot
dusty
world
devoid
of comfort.
Contact.
Ending
on a
sour
note.
Not
how it
began.
Green
bountiful
full of
promise.
Much to
learn.
Yet
possibilities
abound.
The journey
begins.
*** holes,
pitfalls
along
the way.
Walking
into
walls.
Move
around
continue
on.
Undaunted,
pres­sing on.
Locked doors.
Wrong
turns.
Pettiness.
Fall down.
Get up.
Fall down.
Get up.
Left, right
decisions
to make.
Paths
forward.
Which one?
Hourglass
shape,
sand passing
through.
No going
back.
Wrong
path.
Now
what?
Time
running
out.
Soon.
End of
the road.
Hot dusty
desolate
road.
