The Forbidden Object Among Us
Ignorance is bliss my friends
its true
for centuries we have been going to wars
due to an object among us
from another world
like everything here
technology
literature and creativity another
witchcraft another plane
someone climbed a staircase
walked into a world of gold and stores
stole something, bought something
with a word
was the word no?
and every time that word is spoken
someone somewhere disappears?
But what is this item amongst us
sending us to wars?
making us think its something else
claiming victoms
proving its venom among the gods of other worlds
who have cut off their connections with us
one day after the third world war
after our supposed apocalypse
this item will slide into another world
they will live our nightmare
3 wars, centuries of confusion and torment
where ignorance is bliss
to never know they have this item amongst them
cursing them
perhaps its free
maybe everyone has one
maybe its a book
a painting
a camera
we need to find it
before the war of the worlds starts again
and the nightmares the psychic children and war veterans
of the previous rounds remember
of vampires monsters, werewolves happen
and the truth of the apocalypse of heavens and terrors happen again
what is this item?
once locked in a world in a safe place with a will of its own
the gods of the other worlds granted this world everything we have to figure it out
they isolate us
so now we have technology
several races
different satellites
religions and superstitions of strategy
to corner this item
but ignorance is bliss
is it alcohol?
making women in the past bath in blood?
drugs ensuring kids kill kids?
religion masking itself with purity and innocence
to use 70 years of psychological experience to sell guns bombs and drugs?
is it a ring?
is it a paintbrush that captures the soul?
an instructional joke book?
it is amongst us!
the other worlds might or might not know
its will is to spark up the war of the worlds we are here to prevent
and if we fail
all of our nightmares
we think we just dream
we will live
fight and die for
in more than one world
and it will seem like it never ends
is this world like a safe place for it?
and we the guardians and protectors
and who better than the arch angels of death and justice and man
who was poisoned by it
and the evil gods who were deceived by this item
so they are going to get the last laugh?
ignorance is bliss my friends!
