It's about the individual,
and the progress that is made...
their pursuit of efficacious satisfaction!
See, "one" goes further than the group,
in fact, defines their group's pretension
given "practices" of "mob-think"...
its "inaction."
It's the Shamanistic pathway
of "the cat who walks alone,"
where few will dare to tread
as "edges" glare!
...Though "edges" are required
in pursuit of group survival,
so perhaps some small respect
might then be shared.
.
...And in no way will it matter
that she suffers for her task,
or he greases cosmic gears
that tear his eyes.
Their art is oft rejected...
as are hurdles many fear...
...but elevates us best...
we find in time.
They'd follow different rhythms
quite ignoring the indifference
that their "people" have preferred
and so conspired...
...We, all but, touch the "face of God,"
but most avoid that "darkness,"
if from which...
any novelty's inspired...
.
Still, that satisfaction's missing
from the short-sight of our ways
as we rape our mother planet
for the "comforts" she can pay.
We count on some to point this out
from where they're walking "lead"!
From where they'd "light the darkness,"
at some peril; we proceed.
.
Shamans suffer ostracism
which is sure to come their way
(for no good deed can go,
perforce, unpunished);
they are left to their devices
they have made up on their own,
and they stay a little lonely, if astonished!
.
...And much provides astonishment,
new vistas yawn and gape;
new "ideas" stun the senses and the mind!!! "Unnerving introspection"
action's "strength of will" and more,
as the "cosmic riddle" beckons...
...our humility... one finds!
.
They only want what's righteous
for the spirit's celebration!
They want to look beyond
the "common pale"!
They want an "elevation"
but they want to know its "price."
They want to know these secrets...
and prevail.
They want to know of UFOs,
and question small "grey" men—
or the "Reptoids," ...big-eyed "Nordics"...
...come what may!
The future is inexorable,
and it bears down like a "train";
our Shamans pay the ticket price...
so we don't miss the "plane"!
.
These perform their innovations
for the novelty inspired.
These perform for our advancement,
and they should only be admired...
.
...These could ask the seeming "space-folk"
to show us "limits" we were facing...
most are foolish... if contrived and self-imposed.
This *other's* real existence
is admitted by the "high-domes,"
but they won't admit they're "here";
they're indisposed.
.
UFOs are REAL, friend.
if you pulled some scabrous scales from your eyes!
Though to rail at the scales
is to suffer, not, your sin,
as it's you who's disrespected and deprived.
.
The "evidence" is massive,
but it's picked apart by "thugs,"
and hidden by the "liars,
cheats, and thieves"...
...by "those we pay to govern"
who betray their public trust,
so's to line "psychotic pockets"
with disease!
.
It is these who suck the power
from the marrow of your bones,
as they warp your sensibility
to make you think... that we're alone...
.
Some would know the truth that *is*
—though heaven cracks and falls—
or all our staid conventions
fall apart!
...
If the heavens shatter quickly
then it GOT its just desserts;
it was empty of all meaning
from the start!
.
Too, one shan't dismiss the "faithful's" need:
this heaven that they crave,
it's the "nail" instabilities require.
Though, their faith is turned against them (!)
to "machines" for their control...
and in no way of the "spirit" they'd desire.
.
It is foolish to presume
that we will stay within our "womb,"
and ignore the deep expanse
of time and space!
To presume that *they* are here...
is common sense of rare refinement,
and a steadfast change in course
for our whole race!
.
This won't be hammered down to suit
mere "skeptibunky clowns"—
cretins who won't see beyond their noses...
One presumes that path one seeks
is quite apart from them,
a path that's ever upward... has been chosen.
.
It's our future way up there
which stares from space, and is unblinking!
Still, MOST would turn their backs on it,
to ape a coward's thinking?
.
...And NO! One shall not waver,
revealing error and missteps...
One shall not suffer Christians
phony bows and aped "distress"!
.
...And NO, you are no coward!
You are bravery unrestricted!
You are talent, strength, and passion... unconfined!
Slipping bonds so binding,
unremitting and confining,
you might win your freedom's bounty you would find!
.
And changing is the thing, the course to bounty
—seeking balance—
you deserve for "heating water," doing work...
See, there IS an "I" in team...
(...or no weak "link" defining "chain"!);
you're more than mewling servant to some jerk!
.
It's your will... that must be turned;
See, it's you who must "buy in."
"...'Not provide' for 'their' support..."
which is all you do, my friend!
.
Sans you they cannot profit, see?
Sans you they crash and fall;
sans you they're only flailing!
...Chance to hear them wail and bawl!
.
So, NO! You are no shirker,
though you'll make a grievance known!
It's you who is the shaman!
...It's been YOU, and you alone*!
*You know who you are... Sure, you may be small by yourself, but when you don't show up? It matters. Enough of you not buying in? Control shifts to you!

...We are "the alone, in flight to the alone" as has been observed by our more mellifluous and sonorous bards... it remains, we can perceive this for ourselves. Also remaining?
...But for you, and your effort: society crumbles slightly or a lot, but it crumbles, verily. God, shall not... cannot be depended upon.
God's will. That baseless faith strains credulity, defines an incredulous, and defies any test! It wasn't God running up the stairs of the Twin Towers! It was human beings, friends and neighbors: the only salvation human beings can ever have! Ourselves!
Consequently?
I'm glad no one was waitin' around for THIS writer to invent all our stuff... more of that aforementioned salvation a result of humanity's beneficence? God didn't invent a polio vaccine or a quantum computer... and if we destroy ourselves with all this stuff? That will be on us, too.
It occurs to me that Alien technologies could put a nice spin on all of the preceding for this conjectured individual: yourself. You're due a little more "magic"... More of the "efficacious satisfaction," more novelty... that we have alluded to... here, is warranted. "Happiness" and the "pursuit of same"... the game!
Where is the fairness? Show me the respect tendered! How is this not merely a base tyranny?! Used? One should be paid!
..."Overpopulation" provides for more to choose from in an abused and exacerbated mass of hungry persons... those "willing" who'll "do it for less"... (Romney's wet dream)... ...though it is sad 30,000 kids starve to death on the planet every day to make this program work...
Restore John Ford!
