Entry's Prologue

prologue's entry it’s as ancient as the salt missing in the dead sea it doesn’t hold that essence in its tears it looks over its dominion the souls kissing its feet entry point found in the cracks of over zealous blowing their self-righteousness stood on soap boxes they know better let them speak watch them war with each other it swallows opines it feeds prologue’s entry it never leaves it watches the eyes of others windows open virtuous with bravado pushed to believe only when they are on their knees when the truth monster struts in shutters close not so brave to defend, to endure what they speak it thinks it waits Prologue's entry? it never left, it never sleeps Prologue's entry Entry's prologue as above, so below it watches them in mirrors invisible, yet seen soon to be believed it reads them, like the other it knows them all soon to be believed "what's inside them? is it made of strength? unbreakable?" like a Vampire it will impress promises seduce them with safety in its arms it felicitates its kind of freedom "what's inside them? is it made of strength? unbreakable?" stood on their soap boxes, towers the same as rosaries soon to be believed (LadyLabyrinth / 2022) “Entry” / Lisa Gerrard https://youtu.be/6n_oDTpIc6k

"" when the truth monster struts in shutters close not so brave to defend, to endure what they speak"" Humanity lives within its state of blindness. That blindness is self-imposed by the flesh, the idea of self, imho. And of course, our proclivity to reject morality and then so stubbornly go our own way. A fav. God bless...

At some point, all theories will be put to the test. Many stand on their soap boxes and sprout their religious beliefs, their political beliefs, their personal beliefs. (I am no exception to that illustrious group). I do believe we are all moving towards the point where we will all be confronted to deliver the courage and conviction of our beliefs, and/or face the reality that is culminating to a climax on the WWWIII front, as well as religious and humanity. One could consider this poem is about overcoming/overpowering the Dark. Having the strength and courage to stand firm with The Light, no matter what the perceived cost.

"The Dead Sea is referred to in the Bible as the “Salt Sea” and has also been called the Sea of Sodom, the Sea of Lot and the Stinking Sea because of the rotten egg odor created by the sulphur in the water."

"The sea does not play a major role in the Bible but is referred to in Chronicles II 20 and in Ezekiel. Ezekiel predicted that the Salt Sea would one day flow with fresh water and fishermen would be able to cast their nets from shore. Along the shore of the sea are several Biblical locations: the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, the desert wilderness where David took refuge and the Biblical city of Jericho lies not far to the northeast of the Dead Sea."

juxtaposition.

"When contradictory facts move into close juxtaposition, one of two things happens. If one fact proves wrong, then that's that. But sometimes the contradiction harbors two totally different faces of the same deeper truth. The opposing forces both gain in validity as they converge, and, finally, the universe changes."
