Dust

The origin of the species.....

Dust

Do not dwell upon the cracked earth

where parched plants struggle

for sustenance itself; where

the elements of fire and water

mix with the air of life to destroy

the very soul of humanity,

and turn it barren as the arroyo

where liquid faith has seeped

into the dark soil beneath.

Pagan virtues have risen and the atheist

is lord and will drive out all false hope

that once existed for those weak

souls who dared not believe in

themselves.

So rise up travellers,

take your future in both hands

and reach into the stars

where you have existed for millennia,

and where the true answers lie

to dust.

Religious vigour … lol … a beautiful piece of faith, John. One I relate with on many levels.

Ha! now you see why I was a little worried that 'Seven Revisited' might have religious undertones! I am Darwinist through abd through although Darwin did not comprehend the bigger picture.

[Pryde Foltz]

I am not a Darwinist … survival of the fittest and all that … but evolution is certainly and mechanism that operates in the material world … well on this planet at least … but as you elude Darwin had no knowledge of modern developments in psychics and would seem to have operated from/responded to a Euro-Christian viewpoint. But still … Darwin was my kind of man:)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

No I agree fully with you Pryde.

I really like this as far as theme---at least how it speaks to me.

we can believe in any deity that suits our soul, but most importantly we must believe in ourselves...

Thanks Jacob you got it!
