Another wonderful, thought provoking poem my friend. I find that at my late age of life I begin to understand so many things that eluded me in my youth. I used to be part of the insanity of humanity, but now I\'m able to stand back and analize it, no longer feeling the need to passively accept, and conform because of fear or ignorance. Outstanding write dear poet!

\'Palpitations screaming “doom lives here”
Magnetic levitation of my hair
A freezing response, a deja vu souvenir\'
(A moment\'s unchecked rage, spiralling
to a consequence, stain
on our name, legacy, our very worth)
this is when, we need that mirror
in our mind
to stare back at us and remind us
we\'re all capable of mistakes
just like we can trip with every step
we take in life, what truly matters
what cements the legacy of that stain
on our name
is what we do, after
“Why do we fall ?
So that we can learn
to pick ourselves up.”

\'no sense of what or who is real
no tender touch do we feel
Our lives seem so complex
Cut short, conversations by text
Any social intercourse now vexed
Schedules, our time now controlled
to a keyboard our soul is sold\'

I work with AI for a living, but there are no \"rules & ethics\" guiding the development, so it really is a bit scary.

Dear friend the picture you paint is frightening, disturbing and all too real. We have over time created more and more ways to to ease the burdens of life, making tasks easier; communication instantaneous, transportatation conquering the sky and space, every imaginable device to lessen household work. Are we now to find respite from the burden of thinking? Perhaps we will pass on to future generations fewer and fewer brain cells, and if you don\'t use it you lose it. I may have grown up in the time of dial phones, 3 TV channels that went off air at midnight, and mom & pop corner stores, but I really wouldn\'t trade wouldn\'t trade it for all the convenience of today. We shared so much in our multigenerational family that cannot be gotten today. God bless, dear poet, you really hit the mark here, thank you!

Your poem really captures the concerns with AI. Hopefully, it can be used for good and creative purposes.

These words read to me
like a more refined mirror reflection
of my own humble post today
as once more we\'re in-sync, my kind friend
indeed
\'there is yet grace
in our fallible humanity\'
(thank you! a rejuvenating read
after what\'s been a sickly week for me)

Thanks dear friend. You are right whether misery or abject joy the extreems seem to bring out artisry, be it poetry or painting or music.

we shed our deities
to grasp Prometheus\' spark
of enlightenment
and awaken from Plato\'s cave
of benightment
only to then produce warheads
and set fire, to all...
\'No change, no pause, no hope! Yet I endure.
I ask the Earth, have not the mountains felt?
I ask yon Heaven, the all-beholding Sun,
Has it not seen? The Sea, in storm or calm,
Heaven\'s ever-changing Shadow, spread below,
Have its deaf waves not heard my agony?
Ah me! alas, pain, pain ever, for ever!\'
from Shelley\'s: \'Prometheus Unbound\'
(

)
yet, whilst we have breath
we endure, my wise friend
and word like yours, pave
our survival\'s path:
\'Like moths, we follow any light, no matter the cost\'
\'It seems that our soul is a bleeder
No way to stop hemorrhaging, a need for approval from above\'
\'On tempestuous seas we sail
*Pseudo lighthouses insuring we are lost*

\'Daily, they would turn off the sun
due to lack of payment\'
what a wording of bleak hopelessness
just so despairingly vivid
and poignantly acute
why does our misery, help
elevate our artistry
what a curse of creativity...
simply Brilliant, my wise friend
thank you!

Amen brother! We seem to have a penchant for extremes, but then they always yell the loudest. If we do find respite at times in moderation and common sense, it is short lived. Great write my friend!

Amen!
humanity\'s zeal for self-destruction
is
incomprehensibly, inapprehensible
“Insanity
is doing the same thing
over and over
and expecting, different results.”
Einstein said it best, we all be crazy!

love the \'T\' rhyme scheme
anchors that Tearing of comfort
that forcibly
flustered, unseTTled state
you depict, so vividly
and I think your formatting worked really well
that gap/space, element
adds to a stepping feel, lines
descending
to those anchoring realisation\'s..
a wonderful showcasing
of your technical prowess, dear Poet
