Hidden horrors of the past

.
Do you know of the hidden horrors of the past?

Did you think that Dracula, werewolves or witches are nightmares?

Then listen to this.

Older than the Sun they were, round and somehow funny.

Crept into your mind they did, floated around and made you dizzy.

Made you want to do things that you did not want to do.

Once you did it you never knew again what you wanted.

Inspirited galaxies far from here.

Controlled our own milky way nothing less.

In cosmic wars they were involved

Actually just star makers, they were.

Winged creatures, flying around, making the things, later life

Billions of years went by, many generations passed.

The Earth was barren still and cold, only tiny creatures did enfold.

Wars between them ended in armistice

Ever-repeating were their fights.

Several generations of them made their impact

Some of them learned to control and make others die.

Artificial intelligence, invented long before we existed

It happened what is feared in star wars

The robots took over, learned to take lives

One of them made it to steal 9 billion times a soul.

The winged creatures made a decision

They thought it is better to prevent collision.

A council of crime was committed to take over

Made generations of people that did not live long.

They wrought civilizations, long before ours.

Controlled the energies, the lights and much more.

The Earth did protest and wipe out these cities.

Yet smart as they were they flew high up and took again over.

Midgets were created, and then again Giants

They roamed the earth but could not take over.

For all there was a purpose, always they wanted more.

Man came, real man, but did not know of what was leftover.

The winged creatures, the funny globe-rollers, and so many others

Fought battle upon battle upon battle.

Laid the Earth under a network of wires

Plugged them into the long-distance communication network

Some minds were set in glasses, spirits bound to stones

You did what you had to but not what you wanted.

High-tech computers are no new invention

Today we use them with physics, but the principle is from spirits

Beware of the places where they say to heal your body

Sick you come there but empty you leave

All energies taken, stolen for use of the wings

The reincarnating strangers, artificial yet looking so human.

This was the story of slavery, that began in ages far back

Our shackles are bound into the soil when it was just created.

Sorry i tell this in pictures, associations and metaphors

It could be told plainly, with simple straight words

Make a plunge and flounder and you will find what's behind.
