Ancient Thought

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Mar 19, 2025 


Ancient 
thought.
Spinning
up.
Past to
present.
Mesmerizing.
Old ways
still
permeate.
Modernity,
replete.
Fear.
Superstition 
still holding
sway.
Ancient 
thought,
ways 
gripping
firm.
Holding
civilization 
at bay.
Generations
passing forward
superstition,
fear.
Old thought,
how valid?
Truly,
what 
did the
ancients
know?
New
reality 
forming.
Taking
hold.
A.I.
wiping
it all
away.
