Virus
L. B. Mek said:
we click-bait ourselves
allowing our mind\'s to be willingly
invaded, for that ease
of a herded mindset as our chosen
lifestyle, surrendering
asking questions of distractions
and ignoring those
glaring lies making fools of us
so numb
to watching a peaceful march, devolve
till it sets alight
a country\'s moral compass and pride
popcorns in-hand
reality TV, sponsored by politics
and 24 hour Hollywood news
still, could be worse
its not like a nuclear power
is at war
and being baited everyday
to blow us away...

Gods may well be there, we may each have our own god but it is organised religion that is the problem John.

To Be
L. B. Mek said:
we exist, wondering
what existence is all about...
imbedded in our dna
all the answers
to questions, we\'ve forgotten
to ask...
(another searching read, dear poet
with insightfully acute commentary)

Hive
L. B. Mek said:
if only, dear Poet
we could aspire to that hive mindset dependability
of logical practicality and societal responsibility
what we, instead
strive to mark as our reality
is an entrenched status of life
of fear induced subservience
to a perceived threat as \'ruler\'
over our vey fate
I think
the below poem, expresses it best:
\'waiting for the Barbarians\' by C. P. Cavafy

Ideology
L. B. Mek said:
\'Fear and
superstition
magnified,
accentuated.
Delivered
through
the cloud.\'
evolving
from smoke signals
to cloud networking
and yet
not a damn thing, changed
those in power
point a finger, so we identify
who to blame
for all the senseless anger
we harbour..
..and on, our zeal for self
decimation
amplifies our resolve to hate
rather than love,
