The Link (+3)

Neurotechnology,

a gift or a bane

 

With thoughts simply neurons,

case structure our brains

 

Is humanity destined

to merely plug in

 

Will all beauty and truth

be a programmer’s whim

 

And what of our history

that starts to rewrite

 

Will all paradox suffer,

conversation contrite

 

From Plato to Sartre,

one thing is the same

 

The essence of man

—will a mystery remain

 

(St. David’s Pennsylvania: March, 2021)

 

 

 

Hope's Diamond

 

Not silver,

not platinum,

and surely not gold

 

A mind

eager to learn,

something else to behold

 

More treasured

in essence,

than riches untold

 

Where a Newton

or Einstein

—begin to unfold

 

(St. David’s Pennsylvania: March, 2021)

 

 

 

 

Cross Currents

 

If we could touch time

or taste a new dream

Awareness exploding,

beyond the extreme

To see every fragrance

or hear every wile

Our senses emboldened

—as memory smiles

 

(St. David’s Pennsylvania: March, 2021)

 

 

 

Toll Free

 

Verse is but a vehicle

to where my words are bound

 

The cargo much more precious

than structure that surrounds

 

The driving force empowered,

hands firm upon the wheel

 

The road to ever open up

—with all I say and feel

 

(St. David’s Pennsylvania: March, 2021)
