Unhinged

Unhinged

A Poem by E.J. Waling

Unhinged.
Humanity
has become
unhinged.
Nonstop
input.
Deluged
with
nonstop
input.
From all
directions.
Pushing
buttons.
Pulling
strings.
Mixing
the mind.
Manipulation.
Confusion
reigns.
What’s real?
What to
believe?
Spinning
the mind
into a
frenzy.
Foundations
wobbling,
cracking,
slipping
away.
Nothing to
hold
on to.
Nothing to
believe.
Belief systems
shattered.
Attachment.
Global
attachment.
Molding
minds.
Uniformity,
ultimate goal.
Free will,
a thing
of the
past.

These are prescient and and haunting words that speak to these times we live in. Especially during these days of social media craze. Millions angered like addicts without a drug when several of their favorite media platforms were down for the day. That really says a lot about the state of our society. The entirety of their persona is defined by the social media they consume. They cease to exist without it. And lose themselves and their free will. Thank you JP for this mesmerizing piece that speaks to our future demise if we do not rise above it and conquer this addiction.
