Analysis of Image Loss



Suffering from image loss.
And the fading away of fictioned beliefs.
Deluding the truth and reality to defeat it!

With consciousness limited,
To creating battles and wars to begin.
At an expense not to end them.
They who make,
Division between others to celebrate...
Leave themselves their own victims.
As no one left to have been step upon,
Will volunteer to come to the rescue...
Of those that have shown,
To have made it known historically...
The only skill and ability,
Used repeatedly to observe and see...
Is the imitating pretentiously,
Themselves needing to appear...
Declared victorious and heros winning,
Conflicts and destructive wars.
In honor of their notorious image given,
Ancestors!
Buried under ruins.
Clutching onto symbols.
Yet not a clue of being dressed for battle.
Nor prepared to protect themselves,
From truth and the reality to face.

Although...
Abundantly equipped,
With lies to tell and deception to spread...
Done to keep,
Allegations, rumors and gossip...
The main enemy.
They welcomed to destroy a way of life.
Once too great to appreciate its existence!

'Who were these ancient fools?
Blessed with minds to choose,
A future including possibilities...
For all representing a multitude,
Of different races to exist in harmony?
Wishing to want,
That to prevent from happening?
And to believe they can and could control,
Over what God and His Spiritual Beings...
Have created to eliminate it!?
Who...
Were the descendents of these fools!?'

'Here...
Hold up this shiny piece of metal.
Okay.
First...
I will look into it to recognize myself.
Then...
Hand it to me.
To do what I did.'

'What does any of this prove?
Okay.
So I'm getting older.
What point is this nonsense,
Are you trying to make?
Just because you appear to be,
A few years younger than me...
Is no time now,
To start an argument...
Over looks that mean nothing!'

'You have no idea what looks can do,
To begin the destruction of humanity!'

'Wait a minute.
That piece of metal.
Is not bronze or copper.
It's GOLD!!
I am beginning to understand,
Your message.
Perception.
It's about perception, right!?'

'Geeessshhh.
Yeah, okay...whatever!'
