time and time again

How curious, the Christians and the Jews and the Muslims and the Hindi and the Evangelists and the Catholics and the Buddhists and the Jainists, and on and on and on into sects and cults and on into time. Talk about cats and tigers and ocelots and lions and juagarundis and bobcats and leopards and cougars. How about the time that sifts between your fingers- 1000 years, 2000, 3... all onto 10 and 20 millenia. Who will hold the truth in 20 mil? Will we have understood by then the core concepts of ethics, of morality? Will we have learned by then that the sun is the sun and the moon the moon and without the sun the moon doesn't shine, the earth becomes ice and nothing matters? What will the words of the prophets mean when the sun blows? what is a god without life to praise his name? if one day, and one day it will, all goes silent, will the om resurrect from the universal buzz? Somewhere else, I suppose, someone else will seek salvation, and the eternal balance will be left undisturbed.
