Simple

John Prophet

Simple.
Modernity
aspires.
Standing
on uneven
sloping
terrain.
Reaching
up.
Falling
short.
Hollowed
by ignorance,
superstition.
Wading
through
quicksand,
histories
countless
misdirections.
Charlatans,
miscreants.
Misleading
the
flow.
Fighting.
Push me,
pull you.
Staggering
stance,
halting
progress.
Battling
greed.
Lust for
control.
Darkness
dims progress.
Humanity
limited.
Processing
power
limited,
shallow.
Progress
governed,
hindered.
Simplistic.
Held
under,
naïveté.
Complexity
unwound.
Capabilities
limited.
Progress
unseen.
