AND IN THAT TIME
And in that time
all weapons were collected
and stockpiled into a mountain
and the mountain was worshipped
for no man would ever take up a weapon again.
And the sky was a womb
a rebirthing, the world uniting as one
awoken to love, and the sound was heard
of countless souls in harmony, and the mountain grew
and was worshipped
for on its flanks and peak
all misery and illusion hung visible
like a taint, and all the fear had gone and
all sense of triumph and restraint and limitation
and there were no longer nations to provide for, or to die for
and a need
and no need to begin again

Thanks Suki. We're all desperate for solutions, this is my take albeit an ironical one.
A novel piece of film elP, thanks for including that. Yes, appropriately dark. Your right about the one to one thing. group mentalities are more easily swayed( the herd).
Imagine dealing with any organisation 1 - 1 ! If we could externalize our most negative aspects and isolate them what then?
Thanks David. Glad this made a kind of sense - if it does, that means there must be a truth somewhere however unlikely. We are really slaves that need protecting from our masters, aren't we? Until we find our own power that is.
Jeff Thanks for giving this your mind's eye, and i'm quite happy with your allusions and the ideas you have to beef up the imagery . The biblical tone was a sort of irony and an attempt to qualify the big idea therein. Perhaps the trouble with so much scripture is its elevated tone. If it was passed down like a workshop manual of behaviour and not overdressed it might do more good, I suppose.
(blasphemy, sorry).
Ray Thanks for all your valued comments.
