Civilization Poem by John Prophet

Civilization.
History.
Power.
Fabric
of the
civilized,
woven.
Woven
by the
few.
Power,
narratives
controlling
the masses.
Each thread
drawn by
those who
control.
Modernity
believes
what it's
been told.
Universal
knowledge
contrived,
injected.
The
mainstream
absorbs.
Shaman.
Priest.
Philosopher.
All,
bend and
fold.
Personal
vision.
Control
the mind.
Generations
contorted
to their
views.
Questions
seldomly
asked.
Reality
filled
with ancient
control.
The few
dictate.
The masses
follow.
So
civilization
constructed.
Modernity
obliged.
