The pharoic satanic worldly powers this seems to be depicting in a dark chilling way. Kudos.

(indeed, how unerringly accurately you pinpoint
that poetic vision for insightful commentary
you choose to share, so generously dear poet)..
\'that cyclical nature, revealed
through eyes who\'ve traversed life
to lands
where silver haired - wisdom
reflects, the morose predictability
of humanity\'s pathetic willingness
to hide
from all Truth\'s: but, those convenient - few
entrusted to distract
while we wait, for someone to come along
and sort-out, that inherited mess
we so effortlessly made far - far, worse...\'

(its by getting it-off our chest, with write\'s like yours
we get a chance at experiencing, the best of life
great commentary, thanks for inspiring my only little rant, lol)
edging, ever closer to belated realisation\'s precipice
fulfilling our inherited tradition of self-destructive, promise
or, maybe - once more
like WW2 or other moments of annihilation, from way before
somehow - we\'ll get a second chance, for the umpteenth time
a new democratic social pyramid, all fresh and trusted
worshiping with blinded hope, while other\'s thrust themselves into
our revitalised new of logical science\'s despairing, grip
trump-esque/manufactured scapegoat - triumphed over
while that same society, routinely creating such a monstrosity
once more, goes unchecked
cos you know, its all Urim or Yin or Evil: definitely bad luck
so we\'re never really, at fault...
its everyone else that\'s ruining sh*t, if we only had the power
to do things right, world would be so perfect!
...
\'first they asking me if I\'ve paid my bills, like
whatcha think I\'m-a-tryina-do by applying to your sh*tty job!
and then they be asking if I read, or did good in school\' pssst
\'seriously? like I got time for dat sh*t!\'
...
truly, what an amazing time we\'re witnessing!
exclaimed everyone, that\'s breathed - long enough
to wonder how \'we\' homo sapiens: survived this long...
and they claim miracles don\'t exist
in that mirror - reflection, blinking: all dumbfounded
there\'s one, now refute that!

Gauntlet
L. B. Mek said:

indeed, we\'re all
just a \'clicked, power button - of choice, away\'
from all that yearned-for: serenity...
intriguing, as always dear poet

Goldfinch60 said:

As we run that gauntlet each step we take gives us experience and when we have gained enough we will turn off those machines.

Attainment
L. B. Mek said:

truly, so many categorise of nearly - yet far, achievements
we so brazenly disregard - to forget:
\'imagine if Leonardo\'s \'Gran Cavallo\'
could have been financed till completion?
Would Mona Lisa\'s all-knowing smirk, have survived
all those centuries
without so much as a doubtful - dent...\'
lol, sorry if I ignorantly hijacked your meaning to a different continent, dear poet..
I just found this a fun read, thanks for sharing

Sojourn
L. B. Mek said:

a thought provoking write, yet again dear poet
(and thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply)..
\'there is a reason why zebra\'s have evolutionarily masked themselves in unnatural stripes and choose to blend-in, than stand - out..
there is a reason why democracy was hated by ancient empires who strived for that \'ever greater\'..
there is a reason
we like to forget - existence
is but a sojourned state
and that our countdown, started
before we drew, our very first breath...\'

L. B. Mek said:

brilliantly underlines the underlying systemic malevolence in our aesthetic-first judgements of fellow humans,
great write!

Packaging is certainly immaterial in this world but there is an awful lot of it.

great wordplay and theme on Asimov\'s laws (mule indeed)
thought provoking, astute and impassioned commentary!
while briefly studying computer science and they were lecturing
this supposedly \'statute laws\' to programming, I too
couldn\'t help wondering how negligently short-sighted
and self-servingly ignorant, it all sounded
I mean: what rule exists within humanity to adhere?
by what measure do you quantify integrity
when our very choices
curate existence\'s binary of fate or ill-fate...
how easy to forget
in the very same generation that nurtured
that lauded humanitarian Gandhi
\'our\' collective society helped curate:
that human nightmare of cruelty, Hitler...
and what has cost more lives
in the history of humankind
than that corrosive perversion of love
titled theology...

indeed, sad when humanity\'s past is deemed obsolete to validate progressive ignorance, as modernity\'s go-to state..
