A Myth Reconciled

A Myth Reconciled The earth is flat on the surface and hollow inside as the sky holds the bubble intact unless we tempt the Gods and the firmament crashes from our heaven above loyal to mythological narrative yet so close to the truth Earth wind water and fire at the core of beliefs with underworld looming and still adventurous minds were testing the limits overstepping the mark Pseudoscience today follows the pattern refutes philosophical insight elevates paradigmatic errors and dogma unsound premises and greed With nuclear fission and fusion of power with arrogant megalomania the earth has become a flat pack of lies distortions inventions and demise Humankind is hollow inside minds of our masters and the jubilant crowds rejoice from snow globes of miscreant media adorn delusions of progress Contaminated earth waters polluted fires brewing in smithies of weapons we must have forgotten that he or she who sows wind may harvest all storms Myths allude to the euphemistic description of fake news which are really propaganda engaged in a contest whose falsehoods are the ones to succeed When the dust of collusion has settled and radiation proceeds we may come to rue our ignorance and reconcile for the chance that the myth was no myth 30th May 2017
