Civil War

it finally was acknowledged as a problem. something has gone wrong we must LOOK BACK retrace our steps and explain why exactly this corpse is still moving. hold the clipboards tightly- what should have been told to us before is now SCREAMING IN OUR FACES stand aside!! this is meant for the hands and the minds of professionals so with a turned lever the motion falls and becomes still-------- transfixed beyond knowledge at the awakening of a realm not seen not felt not believed at all. WE ALL JUST CROUCHED DOWN AND LOOKED UPWARD! OUR EYES FALLING FROM THEIR SOCKETS! TIME STOPPED &YET SIGHTLESSLY FLEW FAR FROM US! I WOULDN'T HAVE BELIEVED IT_______ BUT I WAS THERE. scripture printed out before everyone else it was shoved from the tables and laughed away, the children reassured EVERYTHING IS FINE! if we stay as we want to (dumbstupidignorantblind) would everything come as a sweet surprise? though defined i saw it, kindly concurred, the block still remained just as strong. it was our hands that held up this belief of stability, this lie of gravity and clarity. to tell the truth (which i hesitate to do) fear has no opposite for it is ALL. though things can be bravely (&falsely) conquered our bodies still tremble to blurs at the very mention of What Could Have Been. murder is widely accepted as goodness when committed in the likes of battle in the idea of safety- self defence. the enemy, we saw, fell and mutated from life to death, and curled into a premature sham. the rulers, with minds preoccupied with triumph over (backwards) terror, smiled in relief and nodded their heads for us all to come out of cover. THE EARTH IS FREE AND BEAUTIFUL ONCE MORE THANKS TO THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE INTELLIGENT!! INNOCENCE CAN NOW BE FEIGNED AGAIN! but who was to expect that once the babies and the purities were unveiled, that the phantom of man's technological defeat would rise and again come forth in newly discovered ferocity? we were easy to overcome ------such souls we denied, living behind our very eyes, were tricked and caught in the tremulous hands of revolting lust. and with our growing voices we found ourselves declaring to the populations our declining state of perspicuity.
