Soul wars.
Deluged.
Overwhelmed.
Swamped.
Mind
control.
Sensory
overload.
Sapiens
cognition,
designed
for the
wild.
Survival
of the
fittest.
Life
in the
jungle.
No more.
Fried,
burnt
out.
Inadequate
for modernity.
Easily
led astray.
Nefarious
actors
pushing
buttons.
Pulling
levers.
Pulling
strings.
Cloud
control.
Raining
on all.
What to
believe?
Who to
believe?
War,
attack
from
above.
Grey
terrain
battlefield.
Information
surging
to and fro.
Propaganda,
digital
armies
left to
right.
Global.
War, for
humanities
soul.

Wow, "Soul Wars" really hit me hard! The way it's structured—so fragmented and disjointed—perfectly captures the chaos and overwhelm of modern life. Each line feels like a jolt, just like the constant barrage of information we deal with every day. The themes of manipulation and information warfare are so relevant right now, and you’ve nailed that sense of cognitive overload. It’s like you’ve put into words what so many of us are feeling but can’t quite articulate. This poem really makes you think about the battle for our minds and beliefs in this digital age. Truly thought-provoking and powerful!
War would not be there if we all cared John.

A most interesting choice of format one word at a time as if machinegun fire or a drum beat it draws one on. Nicely done
