A Poem by John Prophet

Before.
What was
believed?
Why
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?
