Teetering.
Humanity
on the
edge.
Pace has
quickened.
Accelerating
change,
overwhelms.
Inundating
the senses.
Power
surges,
crisscrossing
the globe.
Generations
apart like
never
before.
Fractures,
tears
in the
mosaic.
Old ways,
old thinking
fading
away.
Global
presence.
Global
morphing,
unified
thought.
Differences
homogenized.
Independence
discouraged.
Nails
hammered.
Utopia.
Dystopia.
Eyes
of the
beholder.
Humanity
teetering.
Teetering
on the
edge.
The
edge
of never
the
same.

Love it, John.
Thank you Jerry
So true John, where are we going?
Andy
Andy, when they get there, we’ll be long gone.
(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!
Hi LBM,
Thank you kindly for reading.
“if we only had the power
to do things right, world would be so perfect!”
Being only human..... heck, even the Angels warred.
