Subjugation

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jul 20, 2023

Subjugation.
Power.
Brutal
gripping 
power.
Down the
millennium 
flow.
Grab it.
Control it.
Use it.
Power
intoxication.
Drug like.
The few
controlling 
the many.
Iron fist
domination.
Always
those 
who’ll
wield it.
Simple
warlords.
National 
leaders.
Unscrupulous 
lusting
for control,
power.
Pushing
the envelope.
Modernity 
the same.
But!
New 
awesome
tools have
arrived.
Global
neural net.
Surrounding.
A.I. 
arrival.
Manipulation.
Population
control.
Caution
required.
The future’s
unclear.
Look up!
Eyes open
for what’s
to come.
