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..
good write of measured lament

Uncertainty
L. B. Mek said:

\'cyclical\' existence as nature intended, supposedly
at least at our distance to meaning..
maybe one day, we\'ll be granted access and introduce humanity: to the actual metaphysics of Reality...

Ouch... no end game? I like how you can\'t see the end of this word-play till it appears at the bottom of the page as you scroll down, coming at you like... well, like the end!

\'Perspective

Brought

All brought

Earth.
All,
just a

Humbling.\'..
indeed, so blatantly articulated even some of us most blinkered can\'t ignore:
\'its surgical precision of poignancy\'..
a great write dear poet!

\'Brainwashed.
Tech brainwash.
Tech changing.
The few

Has always
been.
The few

on a
global scale.
Tech zombies!
Beware the

that harrowing image and your words, combine to make such an impactful read - beyond commentary, more an x-ray of society\'s most glaring threat, distilled for us all to read..
a timely and pertinent write, well executed! in my humble opinion..
thanks for sharing dear poet
