Archetypal Existence

Life seems to be the

Manifesting maintaining

Marketing and manipulation

Of various archetypes

.

Created when a need arises

Structuring to control behavior

Modifying to adapt to currents

Sold as beneficial for purchase

.

One can be relatively sure that

Millions of years ago when

Life forms were forming

Out of the primordial ooze

.

There were no Kings or Queens

Doctors lawyers or politicians

Bank robbers or drug addicts

Slaves or slave owners (CEO’S)

.

Just slimy single cell amoebas

Searching for food and light

Splitting reproducing evolving

Mutating to survive elements

.

In balance with nature always .

What lives dies decays reforms

Regroups regenerates relives

Towards a higher intelligence

.

Why just because it can why not

Slithering crawling breathing air

Converting dioxide into monoxide

Trading with trees mutual benefit

.

Growing opposable thumbs standing

Inventing tools and weapons to eat

Still finding balance honoring sacrifice

Knowing all part of the chain of life

.

Archetyping tribes for survival

Growth family similar sapiens

Painting stories on caves or

Carcass coverings to convey

.

Info to subsequent generations

Stir imaginations learn remember

Understand share adapt repeat

Hunt gather eat grunt together

.

Where evolution probably took

A grinding halt was when tribes

Encountered “different” sapiens

When were first mistook as food

.

Once past that embarrassing faux pas

The alpha male primitive took hold

As an originating archetype over

What seemed to be “foreign” beings

.

Till each burgeoning surviving group

All had to move around for food

Then finding the best locations with

Abundant resources to claim as “theirs”

.

Probably first with walls that what

It didn’t keep out kept in oooops

Then with flags then with pieces

Of paper than all three together

.

Establishing territorial archetypes

That all of a sudden shared land

Was no longer to be shared rather

Divided differently by “different” tribes

.

When logic of their bullshit ran aground

Invisible archetype deities were formed

Of all powerful invisible men who could

Create judge assist manipulate and kill

.

Which still continue today all because

Clever groups with imaginations over

Gullible simpletons transcribed info

Onto papyrus re-read modify and adapt

.

As the basis of social legal precedence

To establish authority archetypes that

Decides its own rule making ability to

Control the behavior of said simpletons

.

Distracted instead of searching within

For common Gaia bond that spawned

Each individual from the same nurturing

Source that knows no separation or hate

.

Which is not an archetype at all merely

The reality of what can be viewed from

A distance warmed and illuminated by

A burning sphere nurturing all of life

.

Of which the cessation of actually living

Is compartmentalized into archetypes

Structured regiments of learning eating

Working sleeping consuming dying

.

Followed by the subset archetypes of

Race religion gender / genderless roles

Gun owners / non gun owners pitted

Against each from their safe archetypes

.

Think of all of the archetype

Regimented structures you

Fall in to or line up with

Just because they are present

.

Parent, worker, epidermis hue beliefs

Geographical birth language customs

Religion by region money by nation

Colorful rag waved songs you sing

.

Pride you take land ancestors took

Brands you buy sports you watch

Teams you claim metaphorically own

Beliefs indoctrinated into

.

All because you’ve nestled into

Comfortable “safe” to you archetypes

Mental structures of thought

Reactions taught life consumed

.

What is the alternative

Teaching what is known

To those who know better

Adhering to unnatural archetypes

.

While it is no easy task

To break free of or dismantle

Established archetypes you can

At least question and understand

.

“Just an observation, maybe I need different glasses.”
