Conflict

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 23, 2023 

Conflict.
Internalized
conflict.
Instincts
coded.
Animal
instincts.
Same
as the
rest.
Millions
of years
in the
making.
Civilization.
Thousands
of years
in the
making.
New
rules.
Battling
jungle
rules.
Raging
conflict
within.
Mollify
the animal.
Keeping
at bay.
Modification.
Ignoring
code.
Instincts
clipped.
Attempted.
Friction,
conflict.
Readily
observed.
Human
struggle.
A.I.
resolves.
Moving on.
