Mystery Iv
Translucent circles drawn around
ancient Mesopotamian faces
we're told are halos', even though
Christian saints had yet to exist and
those same spheres now look like astronaut helmets.
Hieroglyphics are translated by Europeans
into a perpetration of their ideals about kings
who must have ruled over Aztec men.
Yet these glyphs show men winged in flight
with symbols and knowledge of the heavens,
(unknown to European minds of their day)
which are dismissed as myth.
Pyramids and ancient cities
alike in size and scope,
are separated by oceans,
were unseen by their builders who could
not have lived to see them completed,
yet we are told they were created as crypts.
Ancient Negroid featured monoliths of
a stone not found near the jungles
in which they sit, show their
African faces in an area of the world
not known to have harbored Africans.
Science wants always to categorize,
explain within an earth-bound framework,
waiting to stigmitize ideas
of other beings from other worlds
having ever contributed
to the story of our world
and all its mystery.
