Savage Mind

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jun 04, 2018

Eons 
in the making.
Law of the
jungle
ruling our
way.
Etched on
our soul.
Survival,
at all
cost.
Protecting 
territory,
raiding for
resources.
Power to
control,
ruling over
others.
How 
do we survive?
How 
do we
move forward?
Can the 
animal 
move forward?
Can the
animal control 
instincts which
control the
animal?
Change
is required 
less the 
animal succumb.
Succumb
to the 
weapons of
today.
Blending with
technology,
merging with
A.I.,
refining the
animal,
the bridge
to the 
future,
the
path to the
Universe.

The human "animal" is in a Zoo now! Our Society is so heavily INSTITUTIONALIZED. There is a lot of "populist anger" in this "Yellow Vest" Movement in France for example, but I don't really know if the protesters know how they can create a better society any more than the President, Emmanuel Macron, does. After all, France is integrated with the rest of the economies in the world. No leader really acts independently.
