Dark Sky

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Sep 15, 2023

Dark
sky.
Foreboding 
shadows.
Horizon
closing in.
Technology.
Distracting,
confusing.
Head
in the
clouds.
Rudder
out of
hand.
Society,
hopelessly
off
course.
Waves
rocks,
running
a ground.
Future
rapidly
approaching.
Past,
soon a
forgotten
thing.
Minds,
lost
in the
virtual.
Mesmerized.
Narratives,
immersed.
Puppet
masters.
Blinding.
Controlling.
Hopelessly
adrift.
Lemmings.
Sheep.
Critical
thinking,
independent
thought
crushed.
Thinking
fixed,
controlled.
Battle
for the
soul.
Lost!
Marching
orders
planet wide.
What was,
will never
be allowed.
One world.
One way.
Humanity,
a thing
of the
past.
