It Had To Have Had It Happen



Clarification to become inspired by it.
Maybe these days too high of an expectation.
Although,
It has been with hope...
Truth sought to seek it,
Ends a joke to provoke a thinking process.
If the doing is just to have it started.

The Earth is not flat.
And...
No one born to experience life,
Can not say to admit...
A knowing more about life,
Than those who lived centuries ago.
When taught and preached,
About their beliefs.
That today such teachings,
Would be thought a pursuit of the ridiculous.
A ridiculousness worshipped.
Serving a purpose.
It had to have had it happen.
Or...
One is stripped away from social status.

Centuries ago,
When people were permitted...
To declare themselves,
Knowledgeable about 'something'.
And confirmed convincingly by experts.
Reliable and sought after,
Geniuses of times gone.
Known to have followers.
Supporting as well as defending,
What to them had been unknown...
Unsubstantiated knowledge,
Had been granted priority.
Yet...
As far as they, the people, were concerned,
Truth and the proof of it to hear it heard...
Was all that had been needed.
To reach an out of touch impossible dream.
For evidence to produce it.
Like the existence of GOD!
No one has seen.

It had to have had it happen.
A few minds sold on the telling of fiction.
To delude and spread,
Into existence.
Defended to accept and protect,
A reality to believe it taught.
With a fighting to keep beliefs as preached.

However...
Beliefs to teach and preached kept to keep.
Faithfully.
With a knowing such beliefs to be...
For many 'somewhat' true.
And praised to pass the 'could be' test.
Why is there conflict.
Hypocrisy and division?
Between the very ones who seem,
Incapable to understand...
Or come to agree to have it understood,
That their ancestors also fought...
With others as well.
Over whatever had been introduced,
As progress moving humanity forward.
Creating wars, rumors of wars.
And anti this, anti that protestors.
Striking everywhere for higher wages.
More benefits.

A movement of a higher consciousness.
Leaving behind the paying of a homage,
To times limited by minds...
Celebrating to relive and create the ways,
Of their cave dwelling ancestors.

Unbelievable has the normalcy of a sanity,
Up to have gone to vanish.
Although...
With updated weapons.
To adjust and adapt to the times.
Used on their neighbors to ensure,
The maintaining of effectiveness...
Prevents buyer's remorse!
Reminded, of course...
Of being prepared to be outraged.
Driven to an understanding madness!
