It all started when I was three.

Something pretty bizarre happened to me.

They looked for me, but I was gone.

They were worried someone had come along.

Somehow, someone had stolen me away.

They knew I couldn’t get out to play.

Still, they searched inside and out.

It seems I was nowhere about.

Later that day, I was back again.

They immediately asked me where I’d been.

I said I hadn’t gone anywhere.

All the time, I had been right there.

I couldn’t understand the state they were in.

All I knew was the thunder had gotten in.

When I was twelve, it happened again.

This time, I was with a friend.

We were walking in the woods.

We knew to get home when we should.

Suddenly, I was no longer there.

They couldn’t find me anywhere.

My friend ran to get help.

When he arrived, he was by his self.

Frightened, he said I was there, then gone.

I had just vanished. He knew something was wrong.

They searched for a day and a half.

No sign was found. Not even a track.

1 ½ days later, they heard me calling for Buzz.

I was found walking. They asked how I was.

I said I was looking for my friend high & low.

He had vanished a few minutes ago.

They said I had been gone a day & a half.

What did I have to say about that?

I remembered nothing about it, then:

I remembered. Someone had let the thunder in.

I was 18 and graduated from high school.

Just sitting in my room with little to do.

I heard the thunder and I was gone.

This time I remember what went on.

I was in a white room in, like a dentist’s chair.

I called out, but, it seemed as no one was there.

Then a voice inside my head was heard.

“Mental telepathy is bringing you these words.”

“You were taken twice before to prepare you”

“Physical changes in mind and body as you grew.”

“All in preparation for what is to come.”

“You are being programmed to be the one”

“What? I am to be the one what?”

“We’ll tell you all. You’re not in a rut.”

“You’re being programmed to be a political leader”

“The greatest orator of all time. A real feeder.”

“You will feed the people on the perfect truth.”

“Lead them to everlasting peace. All else is moot.”

“Both political parties will bend to your will.”

“Soon after you take power, no one will kill.”

“You will lead the USA, then the whole world.”

“A major social revolution, you will herald.”

“Then your world will be ready to join others.”

“Those throughout the galaxy are these others.”

“A Galactic Federation of peace and understanding.”

“This will be what the earth is demanding.”

“We will lay out your curriculum at every step.”

“Once all goals have been met,

then you will be on your way.”

“You already have a built in desire to succeed.”

“When it’s time, you will have everything you need.”

I woke up lying on my bed.

I could remember it all in my head.

Then, a smile came to my face.

Someone let the thunder in. —Let’s make haste.

It seems there is only one way through.

I wouldn’t even attempt it, if not for you.

It is dangerous beyond comprehension.

The risks are way too many to even mention.

I must dodge the ion rays, go through hell.

Risks that  are too unknown for me to tell.

I have made it. I have survived.

I am shocked that I am alive.

They have found me and taken me in.

They do not believe about where I have been.

Many others have tried and all have died.

They had their skin burned off while still alive.

I explained that I came out, not going in.

It is different when you are from within.

How did I get there in the first place?

We woke up one day and it was in our face.

We were trapped like rats in a trap.

I could not explain much more than that.

What was that place I was in?

We don’t know. No one can go in.

Others are in there. They need our help.

They seemed to understand just how I felt.

Area ‘X’ is unknown to us all.

One day nothing. Next day the wall.

The force field surrounds it for miles around.

Planes can’t even fly over, we have found.

Tell us everything that you can.

Maybe we can come up with a plan.

The little I knew didn’t help very much.

My information was little more than a crutch.

It has been there a year and is slowly growing.

Also it has started to have increased glowing.

A year? For us, it was barely a month.

A distortion in time would be my hunch.

This whole thing is totally alien to us.

For knowing so little, they began to blush.

The answer is obvious, can’t you see?

To penetrate this thing, you have to become me.

Not literally, but in every other sense of the word.

I know, I know, it sounds a little absurd.

Hypnotize me and learn all you can.

They did that, and learned about—– ‘The Man.’

There was a time

when I  thought you were mine.

Now such a thought

is only a crime.

.

Things have changed much

over the years.

Many bridges burned and

many, many tears.

It goes around and comes back again.

Now, can I even call you a friend?

We have agreed to disagree.

All we both wanted was just to be free.

Yet, we’re caught in a trap.

We keep coming back.

It seems it goes on without any end.

Remember that time

when I thought you were mine.

I was really happy

most of the time.

    

Then something changed

and the happiness went away.

You seemed to change,

then we both began to stray.

It goes around and comes back again.

Now, can I even call you a friend?

We have agreed to disagree.

All we both wanted was just to be free.

Yet, we’re caught in a trap.

We keep coming back.

It seems it goes on without any end.

Just one day a week?

The earth is inherited by the meek.

Just one day a week?

Don’t forget to turn the other cheek.

.

Just one day for God?

Remember he rules with an iron rod.

Just one day for God?

Put on the whole armor of God.

Just one death for all.

It was required after the fall.

Just one death for all.

Only God could save us all.

Decision time is here.

What is it that you fear?

Decision time is here.

The simple choice has been made clear.

Praise the Lord!!

The soul train is here, get on board.

Praise the Lord!!

He will give us our just reward.

I was eating Chinese food while out the other day.

The food is very good here, by the way.

A restaurant in a semi mall, a shopping center.

People were shopping, getting ready for winter.

Several people were having lunch there too.

As they left no one came in. Why? I haven’t a clue.

Soon, I was the last customer there.

I looked out. There were no people anywhere.

There were cars in the parking lot.

This seems rather strange, I thought.

I finished up and asked the waiter;

“Where is everyone?” He shrugged. “See you later.”

I got up to go, but stopped at the door.

A person just left a nearby store.

As he stepped off the curb he disappeared.

I mean he just vanished. It was real weird.

I went back into the restaurant then.

I said: “Did you see what happened just then?”

The waiter said :”Yes.” His eyes were big.

It is a good thing he wasn’t wearing a wig.

“What the hell just happened?” I asked.

“I don’t know” “Not sure I should ask.”

He was scared and so was I.

Other employees were informed. What a surprise.

They were almost petrified with fear.

I said “We need to get out of here.”

“No, we don’t know what is going on.”

“Do you think it’s an apocalypse? Day Of The Dawn?”

“Now do you really think that is what is going on?”

“An alien invasion then. Or, mass hallucinations.”

“I’ll say this. You’re making quite a creation.”

“There is no explanation that will do right now.”

“But, we have to find the answer somehow.”

Just then a customer walked in & said “Hello.”

“What’s going on out there? Do you know?”

“What are you talking about?”

I told him & he said “You don’t have to shout.”

“I think you all should go back to bed.”

“Either that, or you are all out of your head.”

With that he went out the door.

We watched him, our faces a horror.

He stepped off the curb & walked to his car.

He drove away leaving us all with a mental scar.

Things were back to normal again.

No one mentioned a thing about ‘then’.

It never occurred again, as far as we know.

But, the waiters get nervous when business is slow.

What is meant by a diamond in the rough?

The answer to this one can be pretty tough.

Are they referring to a person’s religious  state?

Or, maybe a person’s developing social fate?

Possibly an uncut diamond still in the rough.

Basically, anyone or anything changed enough.

When completed, are you a bright shining star?

Or, are you just someone who has gone too far?

A diamond in the rough should indicate good.

If cut and fashioned in the manner it should.

Such crude comparisons may go too far.

Maybe the person is better off right where they are?

It seems to be a judgmental conclusion.

Which may sometimes cause confusion.

A diamond in the rough to one person’s eye

may be a plank in the eye to another, like a sty.

Do not judge unless you be judged.

Your name could end up being mud.

So much for philosophy  today.

I will save the rest for another day.

There is little that is more upsetting

than rolling power outages, I’m betting.

The power company turns all off.

‘Fire danger’ is the talk.

Cut the power to prevent forest fires.

Is this true, or are they liars?

Well, it is happening. Like it or not.

But, if your bill is less, it will be a shock.

Generators are selling like no tomorrow.

An all electric house will bring sorrow.

Back to the stone age with the flip of a switch.

I wonder what Edison would have thought of this?

I suppose it is better than a fire storm.

Whole towns burned down with no time to warn.

The power company should clear around the lines.

If they refuse, then bring on the fines.

It is amazing how dependent we are.

I suppose it is nice we have come this far.

But, with no power, life really sucks.

Give us the power back—-we’ll pay the bucks.

Man, the thought really blew my mind.

When I heard about the monster at the end of time.

Then I realized I didn’t have to worry.

It was a millennia from now, no way to hurry.

What the heck is this monster anyway?

Something really scary to keep you away?

But, you can’t stay away, cause you can’t stop time.

Time passing by is no friend of mine.

You see, we all get old and eventually die.

Is this the monster we will meet by and by?

No, this was explained as at the very end of time.

How does time end? What theory falls in line?

Time ceases when there is no one or thing to track it?

Or, maybe we traverse it by means of our future wit.?

Maybe it is a continuous loop.

Eventually you’re back where you started. Is that the scoop?

Then, how can there be a monster then?

For that to happen doesn’t time have to end?

For a monster to exist when there is no time

would mean it is omnipresent all the time.

So, the monster is actually here now.

Wait a minute, this is giving me a cow.

Think about it folks. Come up with an answer.

I think we all deserve another chance here.

I went to the show the other night.

I was expecting quite a scare.

A horror flick to get you uptight.

I hope I can keep clean underwear.

Before the movie started there was a fight.

Two jerks wrestling between the rows.

Both cussing & kicking & trying to strike.

Why they were fighting?  Nobody knows.

People nearby threw drinks & popcorn on them.

Yelling for them to “Knock it off!!”

Ushers broke it up so neither could win.

People yelled: “Throw them off the loft!!”

Things settled down and previews started.

Future horror flicks coming soon.

A scene with them blessing the dearly departed.

Then switched to some gory looking goon.

“This is sick!” my date said to me.

“I thought this is what you wanted to see?”

“The fight was better than this to see.”

I said: “Be right back. I gotta pee.”

I hoped when I got back she had settled down.

She still seemed pretty uptight to me.

On the screen was a scary clown.

She said sarcastically: “Did you enjoy your pee?”

So went a night that was a total horror.

It was worse in the seats than on the screen.

She said I should have been the one on the floor.

Fighting like hell and making a scene.

Needless to say, it was our first & last date.

She didn’t want to ever see me again.

My mom asked me why I was home so late.

I said: “Horror movies are no friend.”

I have a feeling there is something about to change.

I wish I could just give it a name.

Is the matrix being reprogrammed somehow?

Or, is all that just  Si Fi fiction gone afoul?

Is it a result of the Age Of Aquarius?

A quantum jump, hopefully not nefarious.

A ‘coming of age’ of man as a whole?

Or, a chicken in the bread basket kicking out dough?

By that, I mean, it may all be just a lark.

Someone’s daydream while walking in the park.

Maybe alien influences coming to a head?

Maybe A I will have the answer instead.

Or, just maybe, there is something to the Bible after all.

There is a lot of trouble on the horizon, & it ain’t small.

The controversy between good & evil coming to its end.

Where you stand on this will just depend.

Are you a believer, or too smart for that?

We will see very soon. And that will be that.
