X Marks The Spot

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

A well-known saying and usually revolving around treasure maps, or a designated point of interest. Marked with a mysterious X. Now, in these modern technological times, we have it being used as a brand and for various symbolism. A certain social media site changed its corporate name to it, and it’s mentioned here and there with projects and such.

X marks the spot – treasure maps and the location of something mysterious or of value. Like Indiana Jones finding the X in the library.

Project-X – 1987 film.

The X-Men films – mutant variations of humans

X – being one of our chromosomes. Double X specifically being for females.

X-Files – a series of strange occurrences.

X-Rays – a tool to look through objects.

Planet X – allegedly a planet that may exist but hasn’t been found.

X – denoting the roman numeral for the number ten. Also used as the X in the library as mentioned above.

As with some other wonderings, there might not be anything there to link together and is simply reaching. But the reoccurrence of seeing it, seems as though it’s a nagging thought, but one you can’t quite remember yet won’t leave you alone. Perhaps being another part of the smoke and mirrors, it seems relevant because that is its purpose. Rather than to reveal, it’s there to distract. As with much these days, but if the thought finds an avenue or a road to go down, I will follow it…

The strangest tale… (poetry)

The strangest tale

A scourge on our time

Of demons and evils

A sinister crime

A darkness unveiling

That more can now feel

No longer it matters

What they say is real

Because with a knowing

Is an absence of fear

It’s more than belief

It’s a deep-felt idea

That in their quite twisted

And augmented dream

Where they cannot let go

Of this digital scheme

They’re caught in a loop

And cannot now stray

There’s too much at stake

And now is in play

It’s not as sewn up

As it maybe appeared

It’s gone rather rogue

And now really weird

With things being darker

Than some can admit

But others who’ve noticed

Will no longer sit

And allow this disaster

On our watch to unfold

And when the time comes

We need to be bold

~

In these strange times ahead

There is a problem… (poetry)

There is a problem

We can’t ignore

They’ve taken much

But still want more

More of your thought

Your wants and time

To cover the tracks

Of their dastardly crime

That rather large issue

That grows day by day

And no matter their words

It won’t go away

Because we can see

What they try to hide

A disaster unfolds

And we just can’t abide

So many complicit

The network is vast

Thoughts were created

And spells have been cast

Building the stage

For a scene they have set

Hoping that people

Will get lost and forget

~

Just what they have done

It seems their hand… (poetry)

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

It seems their hand

They’ve overplayed

And their welcome

Well out stayed

A box of worn tools

That wants to dictate

Creating a landscape

Of worry and hate

Of numbers and rules

And pawns for a plan

Not about living

But more if they can

Crush and contain

What it is that we do

Wanting to change us

To be something new

A dampened down version

To do as we’re told

The future’s not bright

In fact it’s been sold

But we are complicit

If we do go along

With all of the bullshit

And all of the wrong

That is now around us

And more than on show

Time keeps ticking on

And further we go

~

To whatever end
