Ode to Help Me Understand Tomorrow

Stretching, screaming, seeking from this primordial present

To better grip these deviations from natural destinies.

We once who believed as rooted truths from trusted seeds,

Now performances by algorithms in artificial minds…

Technocrats reset transhumanists’ factory ecology;

Truths pruned, anxiety, alienations, “alien” refugees,

Airwaves, podcasts, internal enemies looping disinformation;

Personhoods swallowed in unchecked lockdown obeisance;

Body politics corrupted as enablers of crisis by association;

Unprecedented venerated laws weaponized for self interests;

Power attracting pathological personalities and plutocrats.

Where are my arms for protection from leadership killing people

Streaming insanity to encourage war to upend postwar security?

Tomorrow, stop the polarity of consciousness and paralysis of truth.
