Hive

John Prophet

Hive.
Hive
mind.
Group
think.
Massaging
thought.
Like molding
clay.
Ceaseless
motion.
Shape
after
shape.
Mind
after
mind.
Duplicated.
Master
artisan,
molding
tools
in hand.
Zeros
and
ones.
Etching
the mind,
soul.
Free will
co-opted.
Master.
Made to
heel.
Follow
the script,
narrative.
Inundated.
Nonstop.
Screen to
mind.
How
zombies
are born.
How
free will
is lost.

    if only, dear Poet
    we could aspire to that hive mindset dependability
    of logical practicality and societal responsibility
    what we, instead
    strive to mark as our reality
    is an entrenched status of life
    of fear induced subservience
    to a perceived threat as 'ruler'
    over our vey fate
    I think
    the below poem, expresses it best:
    'waiting for the Barbarians' by C. P. Cavafy

    Hi LBM,
    Nefarious forces have alway existed and unfortunately, seem to be always one step ahead. Thank you kindly for reading.
