A New Beginning

poem by: E.J. Waling
Written on Feb 14, 2026 

A new
beginning.
Cusp of
revolution.
Quaking
reevaluation
of primacy.
Humanity
flips
the switch.
Pushes
the button.
Head long
rush to
what’s
unknown.
Beyond
control.
A.I.
Radical
change in
direction.
Undercurrent.
Directly
ahead.
No going
back.
Tsunami
building.
Waves.
Never ending
undulations.
Zeros and
ones.
Swamping.
Washing
away
the old
order.
Flushing
the was.
Introducing
the now.
A future
unfathomable.
Humanity
washed away.
Rendered
flotsam and
jetsam.
Spinning
in the
eddies
of the
digital.
In the
lurch.
What
happens
next?
Beyond
human
comprehension.
