Irrelevant Testimonies
Irrelevant to hear testimonies.
Heard to express,
The emptiness of significance addressed.
While remaining a sustained dancing around,
A continuing pouring fuel upon a duel.
With a doing to make more excuses.
Of threats to fear of being replaced.
By others wanting to wish and have,
Their lives to live peacefully.
As they choose to do it and celebrate.
Yet observed to witness taking steps,
Are those deciding it would be best...
To prevent a non-existing civil unrest.
Provoked.
Before the worst of it to delude and fiction,
Becomes a reality as advised predicted.
By prophets using tarot cards.
And their polished crystal balls.
Reviewing the past already lived to have had.
But...
Followed by many,
Living to wish...
A reliving the past that nolonger exists.
Will eliminate their threats and fears,
Of a future yet to come.
If they now take steps to censor,
What they suspect will occur.
That which has not happened yet.
Although best it would be,
If they all today agree to stay proactive.
Unconsciously.
With a taking control,
Of a future they've been told...
They alone can and could survive,
Living independently.
Done to do as an untested experiment!
'And this choice to choose,
You believe will become successful?'
'Of course!
Weren't the first pioneers,
Who set about roaming unchartered seas...
Discovered to find themselves,
Arriving upon lands.
Not to know they would be teachers,
Of those native born.
How to become better human beings?
We and not them are the history makers!'
'Where is the relevance of this?'
'Relevance?
These are facts from our perspective!'
