To appreciate this you must read it more than once |
Decades have passed, hour upon hour, bit by bit, still the population cries for more. More time, more food, more technical advancements, till the very Heart of Humanity will no longer exist.
All is well !! The adolescent rebels against the tide of yesterdays invention, only to repeat the same pattern of `that` which was before without appreciating the good that it represented.
Infants in throw away diapers growing, so that space will be made for more infants, in `new improved` toss away diapers. The aging close their eyes to the Fresh Horizons, gazing only at yesterday's fading colors. Life gets fresher for the young seekers while it slips through the the slower moving shadows of the elderly mind.
All is well !! The Light of years traveling in dreamy memories and finally perceived by the eyes of today, yet no longer existing at the source. Sounds of many atomic structures listened to by many with letters following their names. This and much more being considered by others attempting to decipher the music of oceanic mammals. Yet starving children sit and cry because of the hunger that may never be satisfied.
All is well !! Billions of `greenbacks` traded for more of the same, people stretching, perspiring, and given monetary awards by simply winning a meaningless game. Student gatherings shouting, expressing pride in their athletic teams; the mothers of martyrs harmonizing their screams, hoping for an eternal crown of Laurel.
Lonely girls at home folding hands in prayer, imagining that a knight in shining armor is out there who will one day be theirs.
All is well !! The Baptist preacher invites many to follow the Lord. The Australian Aborigine repeats time tested sounds from a hollowed out gourd. Industrial cities laid out as waste, a winebibber guzzling aftershave just to ease the taste. Prophets only guessing at when it will end.
This is just a *Hammering* that flowed freely, that I send. I am stopping now, at the gateway of hell, yet I still hear the `Voices` shouting ***All is well !! ***
