Osiris and Anubis

Osiris and Anubis

A Poem by John Prophet

Gods 

of distant past.

Temples built,

prayers,

devotions,

offerings made.

Millions born

then die 

believing.

Time

 moves on,

new beliefs

emerging.

New gods

to adore.

Evolution 

of beliefs,

mankind’s

enduring quest.

What to believe?

What is truth?

Where is truth?

When is truth?

Is it coming?

Has it been?

Is man 

capable of

knowing 

truth?

New reality.

Always new

realities.

Coming faster

all the time,

coming faster.

Faster and faster.

What to believe?

What truth

to believe?

Who’s truth

to believe?

Seduction 

of technology,

future god

to billions
