Big Mythtake

I'm sorry,

it's all a big mythtake;

the Christian Church,

(with all the churchlets)

Islam, Hinduism, anything

you'd call religion. They

even mistake Buddhism

for a religion...it's not.

Fascism, Communism,

Democracy, any other ism,

trying to organize too many

humans into one group.

Mythos, mythtake, drawing

blind conclusions from part

of the elephant in the room.

Closer to the earth, less in

the head, peoples lasted

longer in places over time.

Now, humans all over the 

place, looking for, not

finding, the lost city of gold,

the Golden Age, before the

mythtake of progress drove

it all downhill.

Another mythtake; that knowing

more made us smarter, closer to 

reality, even while we cherish the

wisdom of the ancients.

Getting to the moon didn't help.

Is there life on Mars? Might as

well should have been. Science

even now trying to get over the

mythtake that earth is the center

of life....stupid geniuses...even

Einstein believed in God. So 

much for the predominance of

rational mind.

Still afraid of death,

still afraid of mystery,

looking for a clue in history.

We have a problem with time,

always have, not seeing the

present moment as the only

time there is we can know.

Mythtake builds on the first

double-take, double vision,

into an edifice of cards,

a monument of mental

masturbation, edited to delete

uncertainty;

the only certainty there is.
