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.
