Dogma
L. B. Mek said:
it always made me wonder:
to the dogmatic - fanatic
who, do they assume
inked their dogma\'s, texts?
or at the very least
interpreted - it, as legible
to mere mortals,
was it not, other
fallible humans, just like us...?
ergo - why so adamant
that your dogma, is faultless
by what logic
did you end-up
at that, conveniently warped: conclusion...!
(a timely write
although, when reading history\'s pages
your words, would read
as being timely, at anytime
in humanity\'s history)

Hive Mind
L. B. Mek said:
and all, by design
Hive minded = easier, to Herd
minimising opposition
to incessant, coercive oppression.
\'Imperialism\'s
tyrannically totalitarian
Mindsets\'
Never, went away
merely: Internalised
aimed, at its own
to solidify its threadbare, foundations!
Devoid
of democratic, republic
or Marxist, socialist
aesthetic: window dressing
mirages...

Sight

Hi John - Such a thoroughly engaging read on sight both outer and inner with the latter being the place \"where the soul resides\" I truly agree with your perceptive last statement that ultimate survival of the human race can only happen by \"divining the inside\" - - thanks for sharing Sight.

Deep! dear poet
beware indeed,
they\'re in our bedroom\'s and mind\'s, but somehow
I still like to hope
it\'s never too late
and we\'ll find a way
to prevent this infiltration: Invasion
from defining,
our Individuality\'s
seemingly inevitable, decimation...

\'Way

Dodo?\'..
extinction, at the gate
vanity mirror\'s: in our heads...
(but seriously
how can you look at those big, cute trusting eyes
and not want to write
something sickly sweet and warm
even just,
as a mirage of worded hope...) lol

I don\'t know, dear poet
if you compare the past and the present
a lot has changed, but
depending on your perspective
it may be for the slightly better or much - much, worse..?

That\'s the highway of life John, which you envisioned here so perfectly. I turn 65 in December and in the process of signing up for Medicare. The transition between working full time and retiring will be a welcome relief. Fortunately I have many hobbies to keep me active. Great write John. 😊
