\'Power,
control,
subtlety
of approach.
Come in
from below.
Infiltrate
unseen.
Injection,
directly in.\'
Indeed! Insightful as ever, dear poet
thanks for choosing to share your wisdom

Paradox
Coyote said:

Why indeed? Terrific write John. Much enjoyed.

Paradox
L. B. Mek said:

why is it, we never assume
they, like us
were fallible, and so
wiped each other out
and created
what we assume as being
\'the big bang\'...
how\'s that for a twist, lol

Hypnotics

So true John, we need to walk \'the path less trodden\' to get away from it.

Evaporation
L. B. Mek said:

\'Infinite
futures.
Future
you’s
ghost like.
Depending
on choices\'..
insightful commentary with arrowed aim
drilling to excavate and unfurl
a gleaning of consequence\'s: sequences
outing those truth\'s, we wish
someone had told us, way before
we: learnt our Math, of life...
(poetry, any of that great metaphysical generation
would have been proud, to claim as their own, I think
a thought provoking read, thanks for sharing dear poet)

Menticide
Goldfinch60 said:

Have things changed since 1984, I don\'t think so, they have only become worse.

Menticide
Coyote said:

Wow John, you really hit paydirt here. This concise verse taps into the present chaos perfectly. Nicely done sir.

War
Goldfinch60 said:

They may be controlling us in many ways but some realise this and are looking for better individualistic ways to move on.

Andy

War
Coyote said:

The war few see coming. It boils down to whether we serve technology or technology serves us. Welcome to the machine. Excellent poem.

Coyote said:

Very poignant and well penned sir.

Dystopia Utopia
Goldfinch60 said:

Those eyes may even open wider and see the truth that is being hidden from us all.

Connection
L. B. Mek said:

next breakthrough - Gadget
companies like Tesla, are working on
are A. I. chips - implemented
Directly - Physically
within our Skulls
connecting
to our Brains...
(lookup BMI or BCI or Neauralink)
yup, it ain\'t no farfetched science fiction anymore
soon, Very soon
they\'ll be downloading their latest
whimsical - Ideologies
into our Herd mentality, Networks
with each software, \'upgrade\'
(thanks for sharing, such a sobering read
dear poet)

Manifestation
L. B. Mek said:

\'Mind projection
connection
to all
there is.
Ideas.
Thoughts.
Concepts.
Reality
built.\'
(we can never tell, truly
and that\'s the beauty
for our truth today
maybe our ignorance
in tomorrow\'s supposedly wiser
rear-view mirror;
and yet
just a peek over our shoulders, today
reminds us, how much of wisdom\'s lessons
we\'ve already: forgotten...)
thanks for sharing, dear poet

Pensive write, John.
The present is brief.

Contemplation
L. B. Mek said:

\'who thinks
of such
things?
Who thinks
to ask
why?
How?
Moving on.
Much to
do.
No time.\'
(well, if this ain\'t the most acutely, apt
summarisation of modernity\'s: mindset
I don\'t know
what could word it more eloquently)
another insightful write of measured commentary
dear poet
