If some is good
more is better
Less is threatened
all enslaved
If more is reasoned
less is questioned
Good intentions
—hell repaved
(Dreamsleep: January, 2023)
Kurtz's Warning
When the assassins hunt the assassins
—all hell is enshrined
(Rewatching Apocalypse Now: January, 2023)

such acute commentary, wise Poet
a sobering read
(when the assassins, vanquished
veracity
all they left us, were tattered lies
to fight over
'all enslaved' indeed, wise Poet
herded by pre-conditioned choices
programmed to abide, by laws
invisible to reason or empathy
mind's, warped
by subliminal imagery from birth
so now
our fingers click and swipe
before we even realise
we're trying to purchase mindless
distraction
in bitesize increments of alerts
while lamenting
the lack of worth, in our sense of self)
Cogent and erudite as usual.
Thanks LB
Kurt
