Rituals

A Poem by John Prophet

Rituals.
Ancient.
Performance.
Holding
ancients
in awe.
At bay.
Structure.
Control.
Belief
systems
genesis.
Pounding,
pulsating
rhythm.
Energy flow
between.
Soul
connection.
Mind
melding.
Shaping
spirits
mental
control.
Then
as now.
Same
technique.
Performance,
mind
control.
Modernity.
Greater
sophistication.
Vibrating,
beating
in humanity
from the
start.

Your stream of words seem full of pauses, each word nudging the reader to stop, consider then, presumably to move on. Each and every pause either nudges me to understand you or, to add your ritual this or that to my own. Not sure which!

Being here is an education to which I will return, mull over and am sure benefit from! Is intriguing, interesting and more. Many thanks, sir.

You set out the nature and purposes of rituals (so important to most of us) in this tumbling piece of thought provoking poetry. Love the form as it seems to fit nicely with rituals as some form of incantation.

There are many who find rituals comforting. There are others who exploit that.
