October 21 , 2011 - Until the Walls Came Down
When the prison doors opened
Many souls remained
They seemed unsure of where to go
What to do
What freedom was
Most never knew they were prisoners
With lives extended to the furthest recesses of their cells
Eight by ten foot universes
A form of contentment
Until the walls came down
And the yellow light blinding.
Many wept and curled their bodies
Pretending to be stone.

The Day We DiedJust to let fans of the printed version of Mikesjournal know that the magazine is progressing. Slowly. The theory we are working on is there was an incident at the Cern particle accelerator that collapsed the universe. Suddenly the past, present and future all start to happen at the same time. The soul essence of everyone suddenly remembers not only all of their past lives but the future lives as well. I wonder what that would do to society? The stories we started in volume #10 We Met The First Time Like This are continuing and going to merge in a logical but crazy sort of way. Here are some words to ponder (draft unfinished)
The incident at Cern
That changed the world.
Came and went without fanfare or surprise
Many appeared not to notice
Content to live their lives as always
Deaf and blind to the changes it seemed
But there was that troubling yellow sky
And those memories that came and went
Dreamlike with expressions
Five thousand years ago
Flesh ripped from the bone
A meal for the wild one.
Always the memories
Tomorrow the heart attack
Happening in the present
How it is to die alone three feet from the telephone
Yesterday, today and tomorrow all at once
Dreamlike with expressions
Soul memories suddenly revealed
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
This body or another
The importance of nothing
All wrapped up in the twinkling of a star
Hope you enjoyed this image
