What now my man?A Poem by RuseInexi wheeled on to the prairie i remembered walking through here being chased and chasing predators for who’s prize the game would be with stones and sticks for weapons back then my memory is vague to the times giant reptiles ran across earth when the humanoid giants progeny of the fallen ones, rebellious angels bred with my kin left their stain i walked this land and now i’ve built structures below and above that hide the stars and the running streams of melted water from the great snowy heights above far above this temperate land to the coldest places where few have walked high above those zones to see the clouds below like billowy stepping stones set in floating lakes of blue above the brown and green of land in the valleys below i have closed these beauties with the roof of my great edifices built for every purpose to keep out the rain and snow to shield me from the hurling winds that have ravaged and destroyed my structures with their uncontainable rage their twisting forces split to smithereens anything and everything in their path because of them i've closed the sky above technology came hand in hand with mind and gave me shelter and comfort and rest and time to think and plan for more and more ‘til there is no end no limit to what i can do and will do as i ride upon her back and now as i walk i forget the stars above i cannot feel the gentle breeze the gentle side of the wild winds i no longer feel her within the walls i’ve built the rocks and pebbles no longer hurt my feet they no longer wander as before but to the nearest coffee shop or store my feet are plush with softness not filled with dirt and blisters as clean as are my hands and skin the scent of flowers is replaced i smell the ozone in its place and now i wish, if i could, i’d find a shelter for my mind there is no lasting peace at every turn in every direction i look to stare and contemplate i try to find a way a way of shelter a kind of rest i take my technology as it grows hungrily eat her more and more each day and look to cern's hadron collider to plumb the depths of the universe its purpose and mine i have no time for roses the earth trembles and cracks it shakes as the particles i’ve unleashed fly at boggling speeds and i wonder my curiosity replaces all fear maybe i will find a way to ease my troubled mind and take more dangerous risks nearer to the speed of light break through the curtain and perhaps find meaning on the other side a ragged thought unbridled comes disturbs my innermost senses the raging beasts that i have tamed the shelters i have built that are destroyed by the whims of nature what will be the means of this collider, this particle accelerator will it be like babel's tower when it catches up with me? ending deep under iraqi sands or like atlantis hidden 'neath atlantic depths? my history goes back eons to the end of those golden ages, i recall those pre adamic times, all gone what would it be like to feel again the urge is great yet vague like a pervasive dream divine i wonder what it would be like to remember what was it like to walk with God? not with gods, who interloped and do still who left their own estate illegally entered mine those vile and despicable liars, great in power beyond mine, rebels, rapists, murderers invisible demons who crave my worship and my soul i've learned much over the span of time how would it feel to know and worship the real God? the infinite the almighty the one of the Bible the one God of love i remember now walking in the garden with him so long ago as i wheel myself off the prairie and fly © 2018 RuseInex |
