  1. yes it seems religion is dying. I like the word economy, very difficult to find one word or two to express an idea, yet it flows really well.

    A very potent poem which charts power from the beginning of time right up to the present moment. Power has been used for control of the masses down through the ages as has religion and that is finely expressed throughout the poem. Change is beginning to take place now, that is good because the people are beginning to take back the power which older generations have given to those whom they looked up to. A finely penned poem which I enjoyed reading very much. Thank you for sharing…

  3. More and more are realizing their hive mentality, and leaving the hives.
    With technology and information many have been freed from ignorance and control. While others could care less and only use it for fun and entertainment. TFS
