It was a bitter cold December night. Many humanoids had already began their ritual of closing their curtains within their fired earth homes in order to protect them from the real world outside. From the haven off their living room they sat fixated at the sound & vision of an electrical appliance called a Television. The humanoids were happy, blissfully content to be killing some time before their so-called life exterminated. The higher power allowed a limit of 120 years per life- though less than 0.00000000000000001% ever reach that mark. Many of them cease to live at the 70 year old time due to internal malfunctioning induced by poor choosing of subsistence. Many younger ones die too soon – due to abandonment of values of others. We messengers can’t compute at the thought of your pathetic memory banks. Since the dawn of time mankind (a term which is anything but apt) have repeatedly imposed a regime of conflict and brutality. For what? For power, for fame, for glory. From great suffering comes great evil –which entices the hearts of many of the weak. Views become distorted. History seems to pass right through their synthetic skin and brittle bones. But that is not why we are here. The higher power requires a group of noble and peace faring to join together to conquer the wrongs of the past. |

I think of some loss of social manners as time goes on and more become used to worshipping chat rooms and video stores...we'll all have to adapt and then? |
