The world is to be conquered
all of its possession is to be claimed
stripped and wasted
take, take, and take
but not give back
it will be conquered by man
and he will take from it its everything
and leave it defenseless
and what was once beautiful,
will be quagmire
what once gave breath to man,
will reek of offensive odors
what once gave man shelter
will be the cause of man's voyage to Heaven
the world is to be conquered,
but not stripped and wasted,
when man take, man must give back
that of which man protects, protects man
The world is to be conquered
in my mind
A character in this reality, each of us is a character in each episode. Everyone else is watching in another reality. Who is to say what is known? What if all that is known is just perceived? Everything we know is almost everything that we have been told. If our ancestors figured their own truths, why are we not looking for our own?
