Disturbing scenes

I came awake a few moments ago..Feeling
Distorted feelings, and a nagging unease.' Then i recalled the dream..Or a series of scenes i had been visited by.' Sepia snapshots of thir heads and shoulders, wirh sepia blood soaked stainining on them over a large part of the photos, some were leaning upright in glass
Fronted cheap display cabinents, the kind we used to show off cut glass ware and fine bone china dinner services..? Back when we thought order in life and respect were important.' I rrmember I saw other pootos in open fronted boxes on metal poles the
Type that you'd see housing a round fire alarm, that never seemed it was going to be used.? They were there..Because people might need to know' about the fate of con-vid era participents..I seem to remember me putting some photos in these boxes.' 
No physcally..And not right in front of rear doors. ' just to one side' in case their families when they came
In or out.' Might glance? and see them.? These represrntations of normal people who so many of..' have been denied a pathology report.' And were cremated or labelled sudden death and buried quickly.' Some had, no familiy only me 
 trying to raise an awerness' and God 
who knows them all..And the false
 prophet also was in my dream..? Or 
nightmare.? Not in the drainstream guise.
 This time.! Maybe its a diffetent demon? i saw an emaciated female with a withered most frail hand it repeatedly placed it over its mouth the dropped it only to put it back again i beleive it was a sighting of my opponent or one of them.' A false prophet that smothered the truth of mouths that could have spoken.' Maybe i saw part of its eternity.? Its validity once it enters hell.' I
 am feeling subdued this early morning, having started this poem at 3, 07 am i will attempt to
Go back to sleep for a while.' May God be with you.'

Thank you Sara..We inhabit the world we neglect..As much as the one we nurture I guess? is a fairly true assesment.'

John, on the Island of Patmos, had many strange visions, dreams. Good to record them, write them down -- who knows? Interesting read.

The Epstein Files are just a distraction, the worst already known. More important things in the world to focus on.
