The Midnight Monologue

 


Is poetry a dying artform


Does this new generation just want images and memes


To be their new norm


Don't they know the beauty of creating a thing

That might be emotionally worn


A beautiful invisible locket  

That may help them find catharsis


And through  

PoetryGenesis


To truly transform

In fifty or a hundred years.

Will poetry simply be a mystical art form?


Known only to shamans and mystics 


As the current society kneels before unusual and insidious technology

For just about everything?


Will the new generations, be less inclined to create thoughts onto paper, or just so somewhere? 


Will the repeated vaccination cycles, potentially dum them down, so the burning passions in their soul, can never speak?


Will a technocrat's dream of a neverending dystopia

Lull them to sleep


To keep them in servitude and neverending bondage to be perpetually weak 


Serving the Matrix in a blinded hypnotised unconscious form of submission
